What is introductory biology?

Introductory Biology 151-152 is a two semester introductory sequence for majors in the biological sciences. Emphasis will be placed on learning, understanding and being able to use key biological concepts and the scientific method. The study of modern biology is not only a matter of assimilating factual information. Learning how to use that information for problem-solving, posing hypotheses and interpreting experimental results is also critical to understanding biology as a science. The lectures examine key concepts. Discussions allow you to more fully investigate these. In the laboratory, you will need to use the scientific method and apply a number of the concepts from lecture to carry out the various activities. In addition, labs stress the development of written and oral presentation skills. These are required to successfully communicate scientific concepts and your research findings to others. Introductory Biology 153 is a one semester terminal course which includes all of 151 except the lab.

Is there a late make up exam?

There will be no late make-up exams except for extreme cases such as a death in the family or an illness. All late make-up exams will be in the oral or modified essay format. See your coordinator for scheduling a make-up exam.

Homeless man in front of kwiktrip

Hi! I’m a new international student just arrived in States last 2 weeks. Ive noticed that there is a homeless guy that usually sit in front of KwikTrip near Randall. Is it appropriate if I were to give him some snacks or foods? Does he really need anything like drink or lunch? I need your opinion :)

PSA for football season tickets

If you plan to buy season tickets just to sell them all and make a few bucks, please don’t. Aside from it being illegal in Madison, you’re taking the opportunity away from a real fan that wants to see the Badgers play.

How'd the season ticket hunt go for y'all?

I heard tickets ran out pretty quickly so I'm just wondering how it went for you guys.
