Lecture Presentations
Most college courses today are taught using PowerPoint presentations or another similar presentation method. Often students are provided with these files in advance and expected to print them out and bring them to class. As Biology CP is a college preparatory class, PowerPoint will be used to aid lectures throughout the semester and students will be taught how to use and interact with their notes. I will provide students with a copy of the slides to take notes on and use for study. Students who lose the copies I provide will need to visit this page to download the missing pages and print out a new copy. Computers and printers are available in the library. Students will receive a grade at the end of the semester for having all of their notes organized in their binder. Students are expected to add notes to their print out of the lecture slides during the lecture and while reading assigned sections from the textbook. They are also expected to highlight important information and review them on a regular basis and before exams. Exam questions will come primarily from the lecture notes, and so this should guide students in what to focus on when reading their textbooks. The goal is for each student to be able to use these notes as a basis for designing a study guide prior to each test.
