This course is intended as an introduction and coordinating experience for students entering the Organismal Biology major. The Course will normally be taken in the sophomore year.

The course will meet for one session (75 minutes) per week on Wednesday afternoons, with some variations dictated by the subject matter.  Meetings will comprise lectures, discussion sessions, practical workshops, and critical evaluation of the relevant literature.  Topics to be covered will reflect the professional interests of the faculty involved (see current syllabus).

Questions regarding specific material and grading should be directed to the relevant faculty member; questions regarding overall coordination and grade bookkeeping should be directed to Professor McFarlane.
