On the schedule I have yesterday listed as a quiz day, where I would tally your iClicker scores for a quiz grade. Since we have only had ONE day with them, I think I'll go another day before working up the first average.

The notes for the week are available. Be sure to be thinking of a research paper topic over the weekend. Something you are interested in that is also related specifically to cell biology.

The lecture notes for the first week are uploaded.

Remember that there are no 196 labs next week (although lecture is unaffected), but when we return the next week there will be a quiz and your topics for your paper are due. Remember to bring your iClicker to class starting next week.

At some point please read the section on plagiarism in the student resources section.

Enjoy your long Labor Day weekend.

Welcome to the Michelson Biology 196 Website for Fall 2008.

Please note that Biology 196 requires that you have taken Biology 189 (or equivalent). If you have not had a college-level course in biology in the past, you should check with the instructor or your college counselor before registering for Biology 196.
Here you will find lecture notes, links to grades, schedules, movies, etc. You should also make sure you have the appropriate software installed on your personal computer to view the media that will be found here.


The computers on campus have all the appropriate software and everything is tested there. If you are having any difficulties with this site my first suggestion will be for you to use a computer on campus.

For the lecture quizzes this semester you must have an iClicker. These can be purchased at the college bookstore, and should look like this:


Did you know that all CSN students have free email addresses with the college that exist even after the student has left the college? Check here.
