"How realistic is to teach Evolution as the Unifying Theory of Biology via a University course? Reporting an experience"

Is it worthy or feasible to apply a university (or school) general biology course that may go beyond the usual structure of such courses and be designed by using the THES as its’ central unifying theory? What about the need of prerequisite Concepts /structures/Functions? What about its’ reception? - Evaluation of the teaching experience? To what extent such a general course can begin with a general introduction to THES, in one hand, and, to what degree can be followed all the other modules or chapters, that usually are considered as prerequisite chapters and concepts before the students are familiarized with the THES?

To answer all these and other questions we organized a course entitled: “Teaching Biology with Evolution as the Unifying Theory” that has been taught in the School of Education, The National and Kapodestrian University of Athens, and (for some years) for the last 20 Winter semesters.
