Final Assessment Review is now available (see below).

An excellent link called "Virtually Biology Course" has almost every major topic that I cover. Extremely well done. Check it out!

This link has fantastic links for animations for every possible biological topic. See why everyone is giving this page "two thumbs up!" Needs shockwave and flash, but not real player.

A terrific link from your book's publisher (quizzes, web links), can be used throughout the year

A variety of very well done video clips on 9 different Chemistry topics that apply to the life sciences

Another wonderful link for almost all major Biological concepts! (perhaps a bit more advanced) http://www.johnkyrk.com/

General Course information (in an effort to "clean up the site" I have moved a variety of links such as: How to assemble your comp book, course guidelines, article reviews, Turnitin.com registration, lab rubrics, etc. to this page)

(article review directions located above in General Course information)

When printing the POWERPOINT presentations from campus MAC LAB-select PRINT, COPIES AND PAGES, MICROSOFT POWERPOINT, PRINT WHAT, HANDOUTS (3 SLIDES PER PAGE) *(don't select PRINT HIDDEN SLIDES) REMEMBER TO DELETE THE FILE OR IT WILL BE A REAL MEMORY HOG!

When printing the POWERPOINT presentations from campus PC LAB-select FILE, FILEPRINT, PRINTWHAT,HANDOUTS,SLIDES PER PAGE, 3. *(don't select PRINT HIDDEN SLIDES) REMEMBER TO DELETE THE FILE OR IT WILL BE A REAL MEMORY HOG!

When printing the POWERPOINT presentations from HOME- Try some variation of the above. YOU DON'T WANT TO PRINT ONE SLIDE PER PAGE. HUGE WASTE OF TIME, PAPER AND INK. REMEMBER TO DELETE THE FILE OR IT WILL BE A REAL MEMORY HOG!

BEFORE YOU PRINT............. READ THE ABOVE PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS: Note: if accessing the ppt from the US/MS library, do NOT print yourself. The librarians have a hard copy and will make a xerox for you. Currently having printer overload issues. If printing from home, follow the usual instructions. Thanks.
