Content heavy
Good note taking skills needed
Attendance as needed
Seating Chart to help me try to learn names
Interesting Lab where you will learn many basic Biology skills
My Goals and Expectations
My Goals:
To teach an organized, interesting course
To give fair tests which are graded and returned promptly
To cover the major content of Microbiology and share my personal experiences in Microbiology
My Expectations:
I expect Senior-level work
Attendance and read text as necessary
Do not disrupt class (i.e. tardiness, leaving class early, etc)
Misc.
