Course outline info
A pdf file of the course outline is available on D2L under:

Note: On quiz days there will not be a lecture during the scheduled class period. Instead a recording of the
corresponding lecture will be posted on D2L. Students will be permitted (but not required) to view the recording
of the lecture; this is not considered a scheduled out-of-class activity.

eText $59.99

Mastering Biology web access (optional)


Web-based platform that provides useful exercises and animations to help
learn the concepts in the textbook.

On D2L
D2L / Content / Concepts and Terms to Review

List of concepts and terms that I am assuming you know about


from other courses

I will not be explaining these when they are brought up in lectures

Please look them over and brush up on any topics that you are not
comfortable with
Two discussion boards on D2L
D2L / Communication / Discussions

Instead of emailing the instructor, please post questions here. You can
post anonymously. Other students will be able to read the Q&A.
Academic Integrity / Misconduct

Studying together is a good way to learn

However, quizzes and exams are individual efforts

Online assessments will be open-book and open-notes, but students


will not be permitted to access other resources online or elsewhere, or
to communicate with others

Consequences of violation: zero credit for item involved, and the case
will be forwarded to the department for potential additional action
Permissions
I am posting notes and recordings on lectures on D2L

You have my permission to use the materials for your own learning
during the course

You do NOT have my permission to share or circulate the notes and


recordings elsewhere on the internet or in on other ways

Your use of the materials is for your learning in this course only
First quiz

The first quiz will be on Wednesday Sept. 15


Material on the quiz will only be from only one lecture (Friday)
The first quiz will be relatively easy compared to later quizzes

A practice quiz will be available on D2L on Friday Sept. 10 to let you


test out the format and see if there are technical problems
(more info on this on Friday’s class)
