Lab Manual: Developmental
Biology — A guide for experimental study Second Edition (2000). By Mary S. Tyler, Sinauer Associates. Available in OU Bookstore.
Text: Developmental Biology Sixth Edition (2000). By Scott F. Gilbert
Each lab will be evaluated
in two ways. One is by a quiz based on the lab materials, which are usually
composed of multiple-choice/true or false questions and short answers, and
given in the following week (10 points each). The other is by a lab report, which must include introduction, materials and methods, results,
and discussion (20 points
each), and must be due in the
following week. Therefore, the lab
will be graded based on a total of 300 points.
