BISC 101 •

This course along with Bisc 102 is an introduction into Biology. Together these two courses cover a big fraction of the Textbook.



Cells, their function and reproduction.



The structure and function of plants and animals.



This is lots of material. My lectures will not cover everything, I will try to cover the most important things.



You will have to read on your own to get more of the details. It will be in the assigned readings.



Study the quizzes at the end of every chapter. It will tell you if you understand the material.



My goal is to try to teach understanding not memorization.



To begin with, skim over chapter 1 as an overview. You should know what’s in chaper 2-5

Lecture •

Most of my lectures will be as PowerPoint slides. But I may use the overhead projector occasionally. You may hear me cough or clear my throat, just ignore it.



On the Website: http://www.sfu.ca/biology/courses/biointro/bio101.html



I may post the PowerPoint lectures on the website and I may also post older lecture notes.



The lecture notes are to be used as guides to help you remember what I covered in class.



Note: It is not sufficient to just read the power point presentations or lecture notes to do well in the course, you must also read the text book and study the figures.



Rules. •

No Cell phones, no talking, attendance is not mandatory for the lecture.



Attendance at Tutorials and class etiquette account for 5% of the final grade.



Don’t leave class early. Disruptive.

Other Things



Due to the size of the class, there are no make-up exams, unless there are extreme circumstances that would justify it.



The grading is curved, with a C or C+ average.



I read my email, but may not reply. Please talk to the TA’s, they will then discuss things or problems with me.



Office hours are TUE 1:30-3:00 PM
