Welcome to Brian McCauley's Bio 6A for Fall 2009.
Office hours Thursday, Nov. 19: that's the last day to ask me questions before the midterm, but I won't be able to stay late -- I have to go to a meeting at 2:30. Please try to ask all your questions before then!
Tutoring with Minh Nguyen in the Tutoring Center (S-43):
- Tuesday & Thursday 2:00-4:00
- And an extra session before midterms -- Friday: 8:30-10:00
If you're in my class, you should check two web sites frequently:
My De Anza homepage (the page you're looking at now):
I will use this page to post announcements and to provide various downloads:
- The syllabus. You don't need to download this; it's in the lab manual. It's just here for reference.
- Lecture notes. I'll put a .pdf version of my in-class PowerPoint file. Each pdf file will cover several days of lecture. Many students like to print these and take notes on them during class. I will try to post one before I begin each new topic. The first one, 01 Intro Systematics, is ready for download now.
- Study guides. About a week before each lecture exam, I'll post a study guide containing a list of the topics that will be covered and a set of essay questions. I will choose one of the essay questions for the exam.
- Lab handouts. In general, you'll find what you need for lab in the lab manual, which you'll be given in lab. If I need to post any extra handouts, I'll put them on this page.
All the downloads will be listed in the left sidebar. You should check this site before each day of class.
My Bio 6A site:
I also made a site with a lot of pictures and information for lab. The lab manual will tell you what you're supposed to do for each day's lab, but the Bio 6A site will give you some extra background information and especially pictures of some of the things you'll be studying in lab. You should look at that site before and during each day's lab. We'll have a few computers to share in the lab room. Alternatively, if you bring your own laptop, iPhone, or similar device, you'll be able to use the De Anza wireless network to look at that site during lab.
