Biology 181- General Biology for Majors

Fall 2009

Week 10 begins... can you believe it?

I haven't seen many of you in the BLC in the past week... I must assume that you have all been hard a work on everything that can be done for the course at home :-)

Get ready for the next deadline, November 6, by which time units 7, 8 and 9 must be done. And remember, the draft for the photosynthesis lab report is also due on that date at 2:00PM. Pace yourself, the lab takes up to 3 hours to complete!!! If you wish, you can do this lab in pairs. It is more fun this way and you will probably get better results. Just let me know who your lab partner was when you turn in your report.

Guess we'll be seeing a lot of eachother between now and then.
