1. Day Date Reading Topic
Th 11/28 no class – Thanksgiving Break
T 12/3 Ch. 12 more on Neurogenesis
Th 12/5 Ch The Saga of the Germ Line
T 12/10 more on Reproduction
quiz on Tues: Draw and Describe pathfinding in any animal CNS
Th 12/ parts of Ch. 13 Growth
  in class assignment on Thurs: build an Edible Urbilaterian Ancestor
you can bring extra ingredients
The Final Exam will be in our regular classroom on Friday, Dec. 20th, 8:00 – 10:00 AM. The exam will cover all the material in the course.
Also remember there are two, short writing assignments, each worth 20 points.
Pick any topic in developmental biology (except your term paper topic) and learn more about it. Then write a two page paper and include all the sources you used (those can include any sources including web sites, newspapers, TV, etc). These are due anytime.
