Welcome to California Plants & Animals
You are about to begin an exciting and wondrous adventure into
the diversity of plants and animals found in California. It will
undoubtedly be a journey filled with amazing observations. There will
be much to learn with a lot of time, energy and effort expended in this
process. For many of you this course will begin building the foundation
for your careers in the Biological Sciences. As such, the material will
need to be learned, not merely memorized. Learning requires a high
level of understanding and will allow you to not only know information
but be able to apply your knowledge. The ability to do so will extend
the value of this course far beyond the boundaries of your transcript
and into your careers and lives. In this syllabus you will find
descriptions of what you can expect from this course, from me as your
instructor, and perhaps most importantly, what is expected of you.
