It is important that you attend each laboratory at your designated time; there is no provision to make up a missed lab session. In his first lecture Dr. Cooper will use material from a CD-ROM developed for LS2 and entitled “The Nature and Properties of Biologically Important Molecules”. During the week 1 lab you will have an opportunity to clarify any questions you have concerning material on the CD-ROM with your TA. WEEK WEEK OF TOPIC ASSIGNMENT /SESSION DUE DATE 1 Sept 28 Lab 1: Introduction to Scientific Method; Biomolecules CD-ROM Review Lab Report due Week 2 2 Oct 5 Discussion: Sci Am article 1 Article 1/Due Week 3 - end of Thurs lecture 3 Oct 12 Lab 2: Pigments of Photosynthesis Lab Report/Due Week 4 4 Oct 19 Discussion: Sci Am article 2 Article 2/Due Week 5 5 Oct 26 Lab 3: Metabolism: Lab Report/Due Week 6 6 Nov 2 Discussion: Sci Am article 3 Article 3/Due Week 7 7 Nov 9 Lab 4: Histology and Microscopy In-class assignment 8 Nov 16 Discussion: Sci Am article 4 Article 4/Due Week 10 9 Nov 23 No Discussion (Thanksgiving week) 10 Nov 30 Lab 5: Rat Dissection: In-class assignment Please note that with the exception of weeks 7 & 10 (assignment completed in lab) all other assignments will be due at the BEGINNING OF THE LAB or DISCUSSION SESSION THE FOLLOWING WEEK unless otherwise noted. Failure to turn in the assignment at the above time will result in a LATE PENALTY (2 point deduction PER DAY for every day beyond the due date).Questions for assignments based on the Scientific American articles will be available from the website the beginning of the week in which the assignment is to be carried out; thus, depending on the timing of your particular discussion section, you will have at least one week to complete the assignment before the due date. During the discussion sections your T.A. will review aspects of the lecture material which may require clarification, go over Scientific American articles assigned for that week (you should have read these beforehand as the T.A. may ask you questions), and discuss answers to previously graded assignments.
