GO 568 Schedule

Fall 2005


GO 568 meets on Wednesday afternoons, 1:00 to 2:50 pm, in Science Hall 110 (& 16). Weekly dates (below) refer to Wednesday class meetings. These sessions are primarily for conducting lab exercises. However, lab work may be done at any other time--lab instructions are available via Internet. Lab exercises are normally due one week after the in-class session. On-campus class meetings will also be used for reviews and special presentations.
