BIO 122 - Podcast Page

Explanation:

In addition to the lecture presentations, selected topics in BIO 122  have been prepared in a podcast format.  Each podcast is a self-contained file in an .m4a format that includes narration and images.  The podcasts are intended to replace lecture presentations on those topics.  Information in those podcasts is considered to be equivalent to lecture material on course exams.

The podcasts are uploaded to Wilkes University's iTunesU website.  They can be accessed by clicking the logo above or through this link.  Click the "Launch iTunes U" button, then click the "BIO 122 Podcasts" button.

Students are to download each file as they would download any music file or podcast offered on iTunes.  The files can be played on any computer having iTunes software.  They can also be transferred to any mp3 player capable of displaying images - such as most iPods.

To help students take notes on the information in the podcasts, a guide has been developed for each presentation.  Each guide includes key points, space for additional notes, and a set of questions at the end. Each guide can be downloaded using the links below.  All of the podcasts have guides in a .doc format.  If you have difficulty seeing the images included in the guides associated with flowering plant structure, try the .pdf version. 

My intent is to create on-demand presentations that are accurate, informative, and interesting.  Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
