  8. How can you do well in this course? • Come to class • Participation is key! • Spend time outside of class on this class • Study, read the labs ahead of time, etc. • Apply what you’ve learned to other areas

  9. Course syllabus • No separate grade for the lab section • You must be registered for both lecture and lab • Missed labs can only be made up the week of the lab • By attending another lab section • Contact me (and the other section’s instructor) to schedule this • For excused absences only • Since we’re in the lab • Proper attire is required • No food and drink in open containers • We will work in groups

  10. Required Materials • Lab manual • 6th edition; earlier editions won’t work • Available in the bookstore

  11. Grading • Lab reports • Due at the beginning of lab the week after the lab is carried out • Late reports lose 15%/day late • Arriving late to class = late report! • Graded for both completeness (you collected all the data in lab) as well as thoughtfulness (correct answers, through answers) • 10 points per report

  12. Grading, pt. 2 • Quizzes • 10 points • ~3-4 questions based on the current week’s lab • Entirely based on the lab manual • Will likely be helpful to have filled out the term definitions for the week’s lab • ~6-7 questions based on the prior week’s lab • Based on what we did in lab, and what’s in the lab manual • The quizzes will start at the beginning of class, and will be timed • Hint: don’t be late :)

  13. Schedule • There will be no quiz at the beginning of next week’s lab • All other labs have quizzes • Field trip to Dana Point tide pools! • One day on a weekend: • Saturday, May 5 from 8:30 am – 11:30 am • Sunday, May 6 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm • You’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the site • Going on the trip is worth 15 points • In addition to the normal lab report • No lab the last week of the semester Pictures by Marc Perkins

  14. Online supplement • For my sections only! • Using WebCT • I’ll use this to • Post grades • Post handouts • Post news and announcements • Answer questions (in the discussions area)

  15. WebCT Information • Go to http://occonline.occ.cccd.edu:8900 • Follow the handout’s instructions • Log in with your pre-created user ID • Based on your name and social security number • A Bio100L section should appear • Account creation • If you added by last Saturday, you should have an account now • If you are petitioning, you’ll only get an account after you’ve officially added the course. • So, add as soon as you can!

  16. A typical day in Bio 100 lab … • Turn in your lab report • From the prior week’s lab • Take the quiz • Introduction to the lab • Collect data as groups • Clean up and check out of lab • Get a stamp on your lab report before you leave

  17. See you next week!

  18. Notes for the instructor: • Note that scheduling information (e.g., lecture times, field trip dates / places, etc.) are likely to change frequently. Note also that you likely didn’t go the same schools I did. • I have an online supplement for my lab sections (to post grades, study guides, handouts, and news), and thus tell the students about WebCT/Blackboard. If you aren’t using this, delete those slides :)
