We will visit the University of Arizona Science Library where you will be introduced to the most commonly used systems for gaining information about a particular species. Lab reports Lab reports for certain exercises must be turned in for grading as designated. The reasoning behind using this course for the Writing Emphasis Course is that I expect you to discuss your techniques, your results, synthesizing the information into a critical, clear piece of work. Tests will cover all material in both lab and lecture. Makeup tests will only be given in cases of documented emergencies, and will be oral.
Questions are an important part of learning.
You can't understand concepts if communication is unclear. I encourage questions at all times. Please don't hesitate to ask in class or to come see me if you are unclear about any concepts. However, I strongly advise everyone to keep up with the reading, lab data, and library work.
