Hi Biologists, Lecture Exam 3 closes tonight at 11:59 pm. If you have not accessed Tegrity to ensure proper function please do so before 5 pm today as I will not be available after that time. This  week you will peer review one of your classmate's genetic disorder  presentations. You can find the person you are assigned to in the Week  15 folder. You can find the appropriate peer re...

Hi Biologists, I hope everyone is doing well. Lecture exam 3 is approaching. The exam will be proctored using the McGraw Hill Tegrity software. I posted details on how to access and use the software in the weekly folder. Please get acquainted with the software this week so that you will be ready to record yourself during the exam next week. I also wanted to update you on the final exam schedule. L...

Hi Biologists, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to update you on the final exam schedule. Like everything else, your final exam will be pushed back a  week. This means that your final exam will be available to you on Tuesday, May 12 . Also,  Wake Tech is still allowing withdrawals with a W, given the  circumstances. If you do not think you will be able to successfully  c...

Hi Biologists! I hope everyone is maintaining. I enjoyed  watching your videos. Like some of you, I am a homebody so I've been  using my time wisely. My 1-year-old has been giving me a run, however. I  think she has cabin fever. Here is a video of her doing her version of a  workout while my husband counts, LOL! Your week 11 assignments are due tonight by 11:59 pm and your Week...

Hi Biologists! I hope everyone is maintaining. I enjoyed watching your videos and I was impressed with the creativity (i.e. PowToons, iMovie, Cammeron's acting, etc). Like some of you, I am a homebody so I've been using my time wisely. My 1-year-old has been giving me a run, however. I think she has cabin fever. Here is a video of her doing her version of a workout while my husband counts, LOL! Yo...

Hi Biologists! I wanted to check in with you to make sure everyone is clear on the plan moving forward. We will only meet on Wednesdays at 8 am for lab if necessary. If necessary, we will meet virtually through Microsoft Teams, just like yesterday.  As of now, your weekly lab assignments will be available in the lab folder. Please do not hesitate to reach out t...

It is my recommendation to you to continue to complete your assignments using your seated schedule. Even though...

Hi Biologists! I didn't  post a Week 8 - Checking In last week since I had already posted  several other announcements. I hope this post makes up for it, however.  In Week 8, we were finishing up our discussion on cellular respiration  and are hopefully more familiar with aerobic respiration, anaerobic  respiration, and fermentation. Cellular respiration is a pretty involv...

Hi Biologists, I enjoyed watching  your discussion videos this week. You mentioned some interesting  things. The following was mentioned in one of my other online sections that I thought was really interesting. Documentaries/movies: Unnatural Selection , Afflicted , and Pandemic CRISPR Cas-9 One of the first things to come to mind with the mention of Pandemic is the current rapidly risin...

Hi Biologists, You mentioned some interesting things this week in your discussion board posts such as: Documentaries/movies: Unnatural Selection , Afflicted , and Pandemic CRISPR Cas-9 I also saw a cute little baby! One of the first things to come to mind with the mention of Pandemic is the current rapidly rising cases of Coronavirus.  Now, a virus is not considered a living thing, it needs a...

Hi Biologists! This week you will learn about cells and how  important cells are to all living organisms. Dysfunctional cells are  detrimental to the well-being of living organisms, and can lead to  life-threatening diseases and death. In graduate school, I did research  on prostate cancer. Myself, and the team that I worked with were  interested in what makes African Amer...

One thing though, when responding to other classmates in FlipGrid please click on the response icon on the vid...

You will learn how to name and identify organic compounds and explore the characteristics of four organic compounds most essential to life. One suggestion, as you complete your assignments moving forward, is to complete the independent practice activities as you read the textbook and SoftChalk lessons. This will help y...
