This syllabus was submitted to the Rhodes College Office of Academic Affairs by the course instructor.This is a team-taught course, in which four faculty (Drs. Hill, Miller, Lindquester and Olsen) serve as your instructors. The team instruction approach offers a number of advantages to you as a student. Two principal advantages are: 1) providing instruction by faculty who have the greatest depth of knowledge in a particular subdiscipline of biology, and 2) increasing your exposure to a number of biology faculty and their varying teaching/testing styles.
