Textbook and readings
There is no official text book. Instead, you will be assigned readings from the primary literature to go with the lectures. The reading is required, and the material covered in the paper is part of the lecture material, and hence subject to questions on the midterm and final.
Two books that are relevant and available in the library: Shaw & Goffinet (2000) Bryophyte Biology or its latest version Goffinet & Shaw (2008) and Nash (Lichen Biology). If you are interested, you can buy them. I can also order them at a discount (although it may come out close to what you get on line with major distributors).
Grade
The final grade is calculated based on your lecture grade (60%; i.e., 5% assignment(s), 20% midterm and 35% - cumulative (I'll explain) - final) and lab (40%; i.e., 15% project and 25% final). No curves, but chances to make up points if needed!
Schedule
Notes:
downloads require password; best viewed in Adobe Reader (some problems with the MAC "Preview" program).
The syllabus is subject to change. You will get papers assigned one lecture and maybe one week ahead. Check the site frequently.
