- Class Key: L47889L663
Dates on online syllabus corrected 13 Jan 09

The original posted dates of some early lectures and exam 1 were wrong and have now been corrected.

Thanks Micaela and Helen for the correction!
Lab registration extra credit point

As I indicated in lecture, I want you to check your lab section and ensure it is the one you are supposed to be in. Sometimes there is a disconnect during the registration process.
- check on the CIS portal to see what lab section you are registered in.
- check the lab schedule here to see where and when that section meets.
- email me. Tell me what section you are in and if that is the right section. If it is not, tell me where you need to go and I will try to accomodate you.
- If you do this by Friday 8am, you get a bonus point!
- If you have already done this and have not heard back from me, just be patient. Remember that I have over 160 emails to reply to for this! I will reply to your email to confirm though.
No Labs first week of BI102

Labs start NEXT WEEK (19 Jan). You will not need your dissecting kits, but you will need your lab manual.

The lab rosters will be posted on this web site in a day or two. Please check and ensure you are listed in the lab you want, and send me an email if anything is wrong.
