Televised Presentations. BIOLOGY 171 (CRN 62118) is offered as a distance learning course. The class lecture presentations are televised via public television stations in Hawai'i (click here for broadcast schedule for Fall 2009). These presentations were videotaped a few years ago. To understand changes to the course not reflected in these videotaped broadcasts, be sure to visit the Important Information page on this website. The advantage to the televised broadcast is that you can videotape these sessions for your own viewing at a time convenient to you. You also have an opportunity to view your taped sessions as many times as you feel necessary to understand the content. Plus you can start and stop the presentations at your convenience. If you miss a televised broadcast, you may view the broadcast over the Internet using Video On Demand, or you may check out the appropriate session, as a DVD, from your campus' library.

Laulima Access. This distance learning class will be administered using the UH Laulima system. I will use the course Laulima site to make general course announcments, administer quizzes and exams, and provide useful resources. Access Laulima is described on the Important Information page.
