12/22/08	Want your final from last term back? Exam #4 of C2005/F2401 '08 will be returned after the first class session of C2006/F2402. After that, the exams will be in the boxes outside Dr. M's office (7th floor of Mudd) until the first exam of '09. Exams may be picked up from Dr. M's office during intersession if she is in. (Usual hrs are 10-6 Mon-Thurs; 10-3 on Fri.)
12/22/08	Want to get a head start for spring '09? Read Ch. 4 in either text (Becker or Sadava/Purves).
	Welcome to C2006 & F2402! The lectures will be identical in the two courses, so students can attend either the morning or evening classes. Dr. Mowshowitz will be lecturing during most of the semester, although Dr. Firestein will do the Neurobiology and Dr. Heicklen will do the development part. The '09 schedule is not ready yet. The order of lectures may be slightly different, but contents will be similar to l ectures of '08. Recitations begin the 2nd week of class. Students in C2006 should sign up by the end of the first week, using the online form, and we'll post your assigned recitation sections early the next week. (The online form will be ready early in first week.) No sign up required for F2402. The Problem Book will be available at The Village Copier on Broadway. We'll announce the details when it's ready. Old copies are on reserve in the Bio Library. We strongly recommend waiting to do the problems until after the corresponding lecture. Coming up the first week of the spring term -- the SURF symposium. You'll learn about the research that undergraduates have been doing, and you'll have a chance to earn extra credit as well. Refreshments! Overall: The administrative details are similar to those of last term (C2005/F24021). The overview is posted. Pages that spell all the details out are linked to the main page. See About C2006 or About F2402. Notes for this term will be extensive outlines, not word-for-word. This is partially for practical reasons and partially for educational reasons -- I think it encourages better student note taking and understanding. The outlines will be provided the night before (if not earlier) so you can print them out in advance and annotate them in class. Which textbook should you read? If you've been reading mostly Sadava/Purves, et al.'s Life, then you'll find that sufficient for this semester too. If you prefer a more detailed text like Becker, et al.'s The World of the Cell, then you can read Becker for the cell biology parts, but you'll want to consult a physiology text for the physio parts. We usually recommend Sherwood's Human Physiology (used in the past few years in Physiology). Text by Silverthorn is good too. Boron is fine too (if you already have it from Quantitative Physiology). There are several copies of Sherwood on reserve in the Biology Library, and we will order some more. (There may be some in the bookstores as the book was used last year for physiology.) Used copies may be available at DogEars or other used book sites. New Students: A few copies of the Becker & Sadava texts chould be available at the College Book Store. New and used copies are also widely available through online vendors. Be sure to read the advice to students.
Study Groups	Interested in finding someone to study with? Want to form a study group? Need some ideas about what to do in your study group? See the study group page. Email Dr. M if you want to add your name to the list of students looking for contacts.
Exam Dates	Midterm Exams will be Thursdays 2/12/09, & 3/12, and Tuesday 4/21. (All Midterm Exams will be in the evening.) Final will be Tuesday 5/12. See the schedule for details. If you foresee any problems with these dates please email Dr. M immediately
	Useful Info on Printing from '08
2/4/08	Having trouble printing the html lectures with a Mac? A student informs me that it doesn't work well with Firefox, but works well with Safari. Firefox works well with a PC. Having trouble printing from Courseworks? Want to print (or look at) an html document without the Courseworks frame? Right click on the document this frame → show only this frame. Then print. If anyone has any more good advice on printing, let Dr. M know.
