I post my weekly schedule on my office door and enjoy seeing students in my office. Please come by as soon as you have something I can help you with or just to chat. If you think you would like me to write a letter of recommendation for you once you have successfully completed this course, make sure I know you as more than a name and student number. I plan the discussion sections to highlight the most important topics or clarify the most difficult topics and to hear from you how you are doing with your identifications, not to substitute for doing the reading yourself before coming to class. I will be in lab each period and welcome course-related questions in class as well as in my office.
Tape recorders are welcome at all discussions.
Start and finish class on time. Be available during regular office hours and for appointments. Follow clearly stated course requirements and policies. Evaluate student performance based on the objectives listed in this syllabus. For each of the four groups of organisms we will be studying, each team will receive one organism.
