Lecture Topics and Testing Schedule

With Associated Readings

ZO 150 Distance Education Version, Fall 2004

General Information About Videotaped Lectures

Text portions of presentation slides from the videotaped lectures are linked to the lecture topics below. Click on the topic and your browser should download an MS Word or Rich Text Format document to your computer for printing. If you do not have MS Word and the lecture notes download in that format (*.doc), E-mail me at s_mozley@ncsu.edu and I will send you the same notes in *.rtf format, which most word processors can read.
Every week beginning no later than August 23, you should view three lectures, supplementing the downloaded notes as you watch (and probably, re-wind and re-watch) the videotape, and supplement your notes further from relevant text sections and figures.
These notes, along with your Guide to Laboratory Exercises and essays you compose on the Study Topics, will serve as the basis for your study in prepartion for tests and the final exam.

Testing Schedule and Alternatives

Lecture tests for the videotaped version of ZO 150 are scheduled on four Tuesdays when regular lab meetings for section # 207 occur, allowing time for you to watch and study the taped lectures at the rate suggested above.
It works best for me if you can take lecture tests at 6:00 p.m. on the Tuesday nights in the schedule below. Tests last one hour and are completed in time for students to attend the # 207 lab section.
However, other times can be established for individual students at mutual convenience. Note the interval following each scheduled test time within which that test must be completed.
I will also collaborate with other professional teachers who live or work near your home, if they are willing to proctor your tests. I can send tests directly to them as E-mail attachments or faxes, and they can fax your answers back to me. The deadlines for return fax of the tests is the same as for completion of each test indicated below.

Topics and Text Reading Assignments

Textbook readings after "C" refer to Campbell and Reece, 6th edition. Letters after page numbers refer to parts of a page: a = upper left, b = lower left, c = upper right, and d= lower right.
Notice that the schemes of phylogeny and some of the classifications in your text are not the same as those posted on the class Web site. You should learn the systems of phylogeny and classification that I have posted on the class Web site ("Classifications" on the ZO 150 Web CT home page).
