Notes

This is an essential course for all students interested in plant biology, biotechnology and ecology.

As in all BIOL courses, a satisfactory performance is required in both the course work, the test and the final examination. This means you must attend all class activities and submit all items of assessment unless you have a very good reason not to (e.g. medical reasons). If you fail to do this you may fail the course.
