1. Day DateReadingTopic Th11/28no class – Thanksgiving Break T12/3Ch. 12more on Neurogenesis Th12/5Ch. 9 The Saga of the Germ Line T12/10more on Reproduction Th12/12 parts of Ch. 13Growth The Final Exam will be in our regular classroom on Friday, Dec. 20 th, 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.

2. When you hand in your term paper also hand in a copy of the primary research article you wrote about. Your paper is due on Tuesday the 26 th OR If you hand in one of your short writing assignments at the same time, your term paper is due on Tuesday, Dec. 3 rd.
