The
Living Planet
Enrollment in BIOL 2306 requires that you have scored at
least a 5 on the skill level placement test for both
· Complete the ON-LINE ORIENTATION
on the web by going to the Spring 2008 Syllabus
.
· Read the entire online Syllabus.

You will need your ACC ID number in order to complete the online
orientation. This number can be found on any of your ACC receipts or schedules,
or on your ACC ID card. It has 7 digits and should start with a one or zero;
some ID cards leave off the zero, but add the zero when you use the number. You
can also find out your number by going to any ACC Admissions office in person
or seeing Dr. Muzos in person during office hours.
ACC requires you to use your
ACCeID to access many ACC online
sites, including Blackboard. Find out all about this new system by clicking here.
Be aware that for this
section you will be REQUIRED to have web access, an active email address, and
to use the Blackboard (Bb)
system on the internet regularly. Bb will be available to you once the class rolls are loaded, shortly before
the beginning of classes. Instructions for using Blackboard (Bb) are
found on the Bb login page at the "Student Guide - Getting Started with
Blackboard" link.
The study guide, BIOL 2306, Living Planet Concepts and
Questions, 9th edition, August 2007, by Speer, Maxim,
& Strong is the only required purchase. It acts as the "text"
along with the video episodes. Generally it is available at any ACC bookstore.
The BIOL 2306 Study Guide is also available
online , and yes,
it is the same as the print version.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Normally students are able
to take exams as rapidly as they choose during the semester, so you will be able
to finish the course early if you choose to do so.
For other details and information, contact Dr. Muzos
by e-mail right away (see address below).
