Readings and Assignments
Lecture

All readings and assignments refer to the 9th Edition of BIOLOGY: The Unity & Diversity of Life by Starr and Taggart. This text comes with a CD Rom that contains a study guide, activities, animations and questions. In addition there is an online study guide at http://www.brookscole.com/biology_d/# that contains additional questions and information. Go to and click on the Section entitled Student Resources, located in the left hand frame. Scroll down the page you come to until you find a picture of your textbook. Click on the picture to get to the site. Your most productive means of study should include the online study guide and the Self Quiz questions at the end of each chapter.

The questions listed below are to be answered in complete sentences, with proper spelling and grammar. These questions represent one way for me to determine that you have read the materials and to also determine your level of understanding.
