Office Hours: Mon. 9-10 AM, Tues. 2-3 PM, Wed. 9-10 AM, Thurs 8-9 AM, in 1117 VLSB. E-mail: roderick.help@berkeley.edu Reading Assignments are from the textbook Biology, Campbell et al., 9th and 10th Editions. The midterm and final exams for the Ecology section of Bio1B will cover ALL material, including assigned reading from the text and labs, and lab concepts, but will emphasize the lectures. The page numbers correspond to Campbell 9th and 10th editions, though the concepts and numbered text sections are much the same in earlier editions. Some reading is assigned out of order so that the theory and applications for a topic are covered at the same time. By the end of the Ecology lectures, all of Campbell Section 8, Chapters 52-56, will be assigned so feel free to read in any order. The reading averages 9 pages per lecture. The additional interviews in the text and chapter reviews are not assigned reading, though they are really interesting and useful for review. |
