Having the text as back-up means that you can concentrate on the content of the lecture rather than just acting as a scribe. Some of the power point presentations are posted to the web. Not everyone is able to access these with their hardware and modems. ALL the power point presentations, whether they are on the web or not, have been posted on the 6th floor of the Marley Building. You may borrow for a short time to xerox them, or go over them right there.
Film clips are an important and fun addition to lectures.
Through images in action, they illustrate important biological concepts. Make a note of what is shown in each clip, and the important point that each illustrates.
