Week 8 & 9 - Checking In

Hi Biologists! I didn't post a Week 8 - Checking In last week since I had already posted several other announcements. I hope this post makes up for it, however. In Week 8, we were finishing up our discussion on cellular respiration and are hopefully more familiar with aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation. Cellular respiration is a pretty involved process so I posted a recorded lecture so that we could take through it together. A recorded lecture will also be posted for photosynthesis in Week 9. If you need further assistance with grasping the concepts of respiration and photosynthesis please do not hesitate to bring your questions to me during student office hours. The case studies should help you to apply your knowledge. Questions similar to the case studies will appear in the written response section of Lecture Exam 2. Lecture Exam 2 will be opening up soon. Please be aware that the exam will only be open for 3 days and it closes on a Saturday. This is due to Spring Break! A study guide and review quiz is available in the Week 9 folder. I also suggest that you all form study groups to prepare for this exam. Please reach out to me if you have questions about the genetic disorder project. You will not want to wait until the last minute to get started on this assignment. As a heads up, I will be making a slight adjustment to the syllabus schedule that will impact your assignments for Week 10. The details will be in the Week 10 folder. C. Dixon
