Bio113 Lab Schedule - Dr. C. Fall 2013

Your two oral presentations will be divided into four sections: Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results; Discussion. Each person will present one section and change sections for the second presentation. The oral presentations must be pledged to indicate that each person made substantial contributions. You will not know which section you are presenting until 1 hour before lab, therefore you should learn all 4 parts.

For your last written lab reports, each person must write his or her own (including figure legends), though you may confer about the content. The figures may be shared resources since they were produced as a team. Put your name as the first author and your labmates names as coauthors.
