Wednesday 1/16/13

First off, I've heard from a number of students that the textbook will not load the actual text to your home computer. My summation is probably that your computer operating system is not compatable with the site. You should however, rest assured in needing to use the text on line anyway as we will have ample time in class to work. If you work hard, you should have no problem.
I don't think you will have much problem getting to the online quizzes and such for me though, we will check on that in a bit.

Today, we had a trivia question about Lance Armstrong and then we discussed genetic traits and worked with the punnet square.  And also the students were given a list of Dominant genetic traits and told them to go home and see what they can see. :)

Here's a link to the Huntington's disease story I was telling you about: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20137567,00.html

Here's the outcome of her story:

Turns out, there is a 3rd son who has also began to show signs of Huntington's disease as well.

11 Jan 2013

Today the students had a Journal Entry : What was the best day you ever had with an adult in your life? If you've not had one, what would you hope for?
We then read the rest of Chapter 1 and began working on the Chapter Review Recalling the Facts Questions #1-9. They are now and FOREVER more to write out the questions or paraphrase the questions to all of the assigned questions in order to earn full credit.  The Syllabus and health history was passed out to the newbies and students are reminded to turn them in by wednesday (syllabus is Exc) Don't forget to turn your extra credit donation to the classroom by the 22nd, and get your book for the book review. I will post some suggested titles for the book review that is EXTRA CREDIT and DUE at the end of the quarter.
