ECOL 182 (Spring - 2008) Intoductory Biology - Lecture List, Practice Questions, Handouts and Course Information
****here is a more updated Study Guide****
****I still think that the sample questions listed below are a great guide for your studying***
****I've put on the new page listings for the eigth edition of Life****
***LECTURES ARE BEING UPLOADED NOW FOR THE CURRENT LECTURES****
****Note the study resources at the bottom of the page****
A couple of quick notes:
Actual content of the lectures is determined by where I STOP in each class each day, not by how many slides I place on the handouts / powerpoint slides before the lecture. I will always explain clearly (in class) where in the lectures you are responsible for recalling for the exam.
If you email me, please, please put "ECOL 182 - (then a title)" in the subject heading of your email. If you don't, then I'll likely miss the message.
READINGS
Dr. S pointed out to the class that I don't have my readings listed on the syllabus! So below are the chapters and pages we'll cover throughout my lectures in the book (remember I may refer to more, depending on specific slide that I reference).
Right now this is the previous version of the text - I will post pages associated with the next version below.
Seventh Version
Phylogenetic Analysis - Chapters 25 & 26
Evolution of photoautotrophy - Pp. 534-542, 550. Review, Chapter 7 (figs 7.5; 7.17; 7.19); Chapter 8 (pp. 145-156).
Evolution and diversity in plants - Chapters 29 & 30.
Plant structure and function - Chapters 35 & 36.
Plant function types - Chapter 40.
Communities and ecosystems - Chapter 55.
Eighth Version
Phylogenetic Analysis - Chapters 25
Evolution of photoautotrophy - Review, Chapter 7 and 8.
Evolution and diversity in plants - Chapters 27, 28 & 29.
Plant structure and function - Chapters 34, 35 & 36.
Plant function types - Chapter 39.
Communities and ecosystems - Chapter 52.
LECTURES (updated as I go)
I post lectures here so that anyone from the class can download them to use them for notetaking. However, keep in mind that these notes have 'holes' in them that require attendence to complete.
These are pdf files, and you'll notice that on the first day in class I'll give you a mechanismto reduce the size of the slides so you can fit many on a page.
Lecture 2 - Evolution of Photoautotrophy
Lecture 4 - Photosynthesis and Plant Diversity
Lecture 7 - Plant Diversity (extra slides from the lecture)
Lecture 8 - Plant Diversity & Function
***The lecture material that you are responsible for in each class period depends upon where I finish up for the day. I always include more slides than I might cover, so Don't forget where I stop!***
