Hi to all of you. I am Dr. Lydia R. Leonardo, your teacher for the first half of Biology 160. The second half will be handled by Dr. Gonzales and I think she will use Canvas for her LMS. Please go over the materials in the VLE. The syllabus was originally prepared by the late Dr. Arnold Hallare and I have retained the original document. The exam dates are still tentative. The last two weeks are for oral reports which we shall discuss when we have the first synchronous meeting. For my first half, your grades will be taken from two exams and oral and written reports. See you on our first synchronous meeting which will be on the first meeting of week 3. Meanwhile stay safe and well.
