Interested in the Writing Intensive Section, please fill out this form. "The staff of BioNB222, Introduction to Neurobiology, is working towards developing a Writing in the Majors section, similar to those offered in other courses at this University. As of yet BioNB222 does not officially have a five credit Writing in the Majors section, therefore this year we are offering one transitional writing-intensive section as an alternative to the traditional discussion section. This section will focus on using writing as a tool to convey knowledge and understanding of subject matter, with bi-weekly short essays and other writing exercises taking the place of problem sets. Other aspects of this course will remain the same and students in this section will be responsible for attending lectures and taking preliminary exams and final."Date Posted: January 7, 2008
If you are interested in 4 credit, you will need to sign up for a discussion section by emailing Jordan Moore.Date Posted: December 17, 2007
