Here's the Lecture Notes.


The title, incidentally, is taken from the Daniel Dennett book which also inspired a two-hour episode of the NOVA 'Evolution' series. We will end up seeing the whole thing in class on Wednesday. Here's a link to view the whole thing on-line, here.

CST INCENTIVE

!!
Parents:

I am offering my students a grade change incentive based upon scoring above Basic on the CST's in Biology.


This means that a student can in principle change a lower grade, including a failing grade, into a passing grade. In order to help students achieve this incentive, I will be giving a Review Packet this week and in addition I am offering a CST Review this Saturday (April 9th), between 8:30 and 11:30 in Room N-63 on the Bullard Campus.


Obviously, I can't take all students, so this has to be on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must sign up and I have to be able to confirm with the parent or guardian that they are choosing to attend. Please encourage your student to consider taking advantage of this unusual opportunity, which has the ability to positively impact both semester grades for Biology.


Sincerely,


Scott Hatfield

Biology Instructor
