Course Objectives: This course is a continuation of bio 113 that considers properties of organisms found above the level of the cell.
Course Content: The course will mostly cover three units: evolutionary biology, the diversity of life, and ecology.
Method of Presentation: Lecture and lab with lots of encouragement of student participation/responsibility for the material. Lack of student participation (and preparation) will seriously hamper the learning experience. No assignments will be handed in or graded. Your lab efforts will be graded using one or two lab exams. These will be open book exams, but students who blow off labs or attend but don't care will tend to fail these lab exams. I will assume and expect that students will not only keep up with text reading but that they will keep up with the material on a daily basis. Some can pass this course without putting forth a serious effort. Most can't.
Method of Evaluation: There will be up to three midterms, one non-comprehensive portion of the final, one comprehensive portion of the final, and one lab exam. Question types may include just about every variety. In addition, you may be quizzed approximately daily.
