BIOL 3702 Lecture
And Laboratory Schedule Spring 2021 Semester (February
10, 2021) This web page contains the schedule of both the lecture and laboratory
components associated with BIOL 3702.
Due to unforeseen events, this schedule and the course components are
subject to change. However, to the
extent possible, students shall be held harmless should any changes become
necessary. Importantly, students should take particular notice of all
deadlines (highlighted in yellow) for quizzes, laboratory reports, SmartBook exercises, etc.
These deadlines are firm.
Requests for the extension of these deadlines shall not be
entertained. A separate web page, Assignment
Deadlines, has been posted that lists all lecture and laboratory
assignments and their associated deadlines.
Students would be wise to keep a calendar when assignments are
available and due as well as to plan their study habits accordingly. In
addition, unless students are otherwise notified or posted differently in the
following schedule, video lectures, quizzes, etc., are available on the date
indicated below. Laboratory exercises
are available the weekend before they are scheduled to be conducted. Please
report any “broken” links to Dr.
