Course Description: This course includes one lecture and one laboratory meeting each week. This introductory non-majors course will emphasize basic biological principles, structure and function of living organisms and contemporary issues. Students may not receive credit in Biol 101 F after taking Biol 100 F, Biol 101 HF, or Biol 102 F. Field trips are required. 5 units. Transfer: CSU, UC Credit Limitation.

Prerequisite: None

1. ATTENTION WEDNESDAY LAB STUDENTS: We have our field trip to Corona Del Mar Tidepools today, Saturday (11/14) from 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm. The weather is nice so I expect to see everyone at the intersection of Poppy avenue and Ocean blvd at Corona Del Mar. Please arrive a little early so that we can all begin and finish on time. Parking along Ocean blvd or any side street is free. Be sure to bring your exercise "T" handout pages with you and something to write with. Also be sure to wear shoes you do not mind getting wet. It is not a bad idea to bring a change of dry clothes and a towel to leave in your car...Just in case!
2. Lecture Exam #3 is coming up Monday (11/16). A study guide was handed out in lecture this Monday (11/2) and is also available in the HANDOUTS section below.
3. Free Science Tutoring is available here on campus through a program called Project GPS2 - Guiding and Preparing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) students. See course related links below for location and schedule.
