9/5 Review ideas of how science and non-science explanations ("models") are constructed and tested. Be sure that you clearly understand the distinction. Handouts tomorrow will expand on the differences and implications. These differences will be fundamental to your discussion and evaluation of ALL ideas in this class.
9/5 Have your self introduction and description of your expectations of this class ready to turn in in class tomorrow. Late registrants need to pick up your copy and turn them in Thursday.
9/5 Tomorrow you will get assigned seats. The class now is fully registered, and I will see if it is possible to allow a few of the "waitlisted" individuals that were dropped. If you are in this category, please sit at the rear of the room so those officially registered will be closer to the front.
9/5 Bring your books to class, and expect to take extensive notes, both in the book and in your notebook. Remember that failure to do so will place you at a serious disadvantage when you write your essays.
9/5 Preceptor agreements due to be turned in tomorrow if you are interested in participating. Late registrants may join, but pick up info and forms in class or asap.

9/13 You should be reading the text book for the first 5 chapters, and begin to translate the processes described separately into an integrated system more representative of a living system. I will begin having you write short essays in class about the chapters and what you are learning with particular emphasis on how you are integrating systems. Most importantly, you will be thinking about how interactions within and between systems continually lead to questions about one system affecting and depending on another system. You will know a few days before you need to write a short essay so that you can prepare, collaborating with others in the class. The Preceptors will be facilitate informal out-of-class discussions, helping everyone to develop needed to write good essays.
