Tips for Succeeding in Lecture - Read assigned chapters before attending lecture (do the same for lab)
- Study at least 4 hrs per week, from notes
- Ask me any specific questions
- Tests are combination of multiple-choice and short answer / fill in blank questions
- Test questions will be derived from the lecture notes
Grading: - Standard

The Biological Sciences - Biology – study of life
- Many different fields (some examples)
- Zoology – study of animals
- Anatomy – study of morphological structures
- Physiology – study of how body structures (cells, organs, organ systems, etc.) function
- Evolution – study of change over time (molecular level to ecosystem level)
- Ecology – study of how organisms interact and affect their environments, or vice versa
Zoology (Science of animal) - Is the branch فرع of Biology that focuses on the structure التركيب , functionالوظيفة, behaviorالسلوك , and evolutionالتطور of animals
Subfields of zoology - Zoographyعلم الحيوان الوصفي , also known as descriptive zoology: describesيصف animals and their habitatsأماكن معيشتها
-
- Comparative anatomyعلم التشريح المقارن : studies the structure of animals.
- Animal physiologyعلم وظائف الأعضاء : is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of animals.
- Molecular biology علم البيولوجيا الجزيئية : studies the common genetic الوراثية and developmental التطورية mechanisms of animals and plants.
Subfields of zoology - Behavioral ecology: علم البيئة السلوكيis the study of the ecological البيئيand evolutionary التطوري basis for animal behavior, and the roles of behavior in enabling an animal to adapt يتكيفto its environment (both intrinsic داخليا and extrinsicوخارجيا ).
