Course
Overview/Philosophy.
Our course has focused on the unique aspects of plant biology
or what I've called the "plant way of life."
The course essentially is put together in several major blocks:
cells & cell growth, water and transport, metabolism, plant hormones, plant
responses to the environment, and flowering.
Since we've completed about half of these topics, it's a good time to
evaluate our experiences. This will
help determine the direction of the remainder of the semester and in many ways
is a better time for an evaluation than the end of the semester since you will
directly benefit from the results of the survey. I will summarize the results and make them available to you.
