ANNOUNCEMENTS updated Aug. 3, 2009:
  • I am out of town until August 17, so please read this website to find answers to some of your questions.
    • CLASSROOM. Bio 272 lecture/lab classes will be held in Room 403T in the Science Village (trailers in Bookstore parking lot). One class meets at 8:00 am - 10:50 am. One class meets at 11:00 am - 1:50 pm. First day is August 18 and will be a full powerpoint lecture.
    • PRE-REQUISITES. All students should fill out the Background Survey by end of first week and bring in your unofficial transcripts from all colleges, so that I can check for the pre-requisite college-level Biology and Chemistry courses. The more chemistry background you have, the better you will do. Almost all students who earn "A" grades in Bio 272 have finished Chem 111B.
    • BOOKS. The 300-page Bio 272 lab manual (which contains all lecture handouts, lab instructions, homework problem sets) is only available after Aug 6 at the FC Bookstore. There are a few "World of the Cell" textbooks at the library reserve desk.
    • We will be using 'clickers' to take daily quizzes and exams in class. I purchased some classroom clickers that you can borrow in class each day (assigned for the entire semester) -- but you will need to pay $8 to share the registration cost with another student. Please bring in exact change, Jo Wu will register the clicker by credit card. If you have your own CPS-RF clicker for another class, you do not need to pay extra registration for second course.

    • Download this pdf file to print out the Bio 272 syllabus and calendar.

      PETITIONERS:

      • Please attend the class period that you are trying to add (but indicate on survey if you can attend both sections). If you have the pre-requisites and it is not too crowded, I will allow you to stay and listen to lecture the first day. Add codes are given out at the end of the second week.
