Department of Botany, UCD Advice on Lectures and Practicals 4. Time is allowed for personal study between lectures. This time should be used for reading around the lecture material from recommended textbooks and references. It is a good idea to make your own notes from these sources and make sure that you have a firm knowledge of each sub-topic as each course progresses. Again, if you do not understand the material, do not be afraid to seek help from the course staff. Additional help can be sought from your mentor (First Science) or tutor (appointed to assist Second Science Botany students). Lecturers with special responsibility for First Year students are Hubert Fuller and Rinus Otte. The Marking Criteria for Examination Answers makes specific reference to marks awarded for material included in examination answers from reading outside the lecture notes. 5. Everyone has problems. Free, expert and confidential advice on all aspects of life and learning (including examinations) is available from the student advisers. Contact Nicola O'Leary , Room 203, Science Lecture Block, tel. 7062863 or 7068366. Very many students have benefitted from seeking such advice, by overcoming learning difficulties and other problems.

82. DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY are used for examination in the Department of botany of reading; contents of relevant lecture notes very poorly relevant to the subject matter of the course. http://www.ucd.ie/botany/handbook/marking.htm

Department of Botany, UCD MARKING CRITERIA FOR EXAMINATION ANSWERS The following marking criteria are used for examination in the Department of Botany: Addressing the question Knowledge and understanding of the topic posed in the question Structure and presentation of answer Reading of relevant literature Independent thinking The characteristics of answers meeting these criteria are listed below by classification, mark band, and a simple descriptor. The criteria are not of equal weighting: e.g. if criterion (i) is not met at all, the answer automatically fails. First Class; 90% or more; outstanding Each of the characteristics listed below in the 80-89% band is present to a high degree, and none is inadequate or defective. The student reveals a very high standard of comprehension. First Class; 80-89%; excellent The question is addressed closely and correctly, without irrelevant material. Full knowledge and understanding of the topic is evident, given the time available to write the answer; free of errors (other than perhaps a few trivial misstatements). Where necessary, diagrams and graphs are accurate and carefully labelled. The answer is constructed clearly and logically, and ideally prefaced by an initial paragraph to indicate its subsequent structure. Writing is fluent and of a high standard.

Botany is an excellent way to introduce you to the World of biology. Although plants are wonderfully complex and diverse in their own right, the cohesiveness of this group provides a great place to begin exploring the functioning of organisms and the fundamental concepts of biology. In this course, we will examine a wide range of topics related to the biology of plants. In the first part of the course, we will investigate in detail how the individual plant works: how plant bodies are built, how plants obtain and transport food and water, and how plants reproduce themselves. Next, we will discuss the principles of evolution, how evolution has produced the incredible

It is important to realize that whales, the largest animals, rely on phytoplankton for their survival. Plants are also the basis for agriculture, aquaculture and horticulture. Agriculture is the basis for civilizations large and small. Hunters and gatherers do not develop civilizations. Plants are immeasurably important in medicine. Plants provide the air we breathe, the food we eat and they help to conserve and purify the water we drink. They are also beautiful, and beauty is always welcome. Plants also produce wood which is still the most common fuel on the planet. Other uses of wood are manifold. Plant fibers are used used for clothing and paper. Paper making revolutionized civilizations and helped to disseminate thoughts, art and even recipes throughout the ancient world.

Each reserve develops workshops that specifically address priority coastal resource issues and target relevant audiences. These CTP workshops are developed in a variety of formats, ranging from seminars, hands-on skill training and participatory workshops to lectures and technology demonstrations.

(2) Department of Biology, Laurentian University, Sudbury Ontario bglalonde@ouc.bc.ca The equilibrium theory of island biogeography proposes a balance between extinction and colonization to explain the general phenomenon whereby species diversity increases as a function of habitat area. This theory is frequently used as the conceptual basis for making habitat conservation and management decisions and is a major topic covered in any community ecology course. Consequently, a simple way of demonstrating the species-area phenomenon and its mechanistic basis during one university-level laboratory period has great pedagological value. We describe a simple laboratory exercise, using the community of cynipid gall-inducers associated with wild roses, which we developed to demonstrate species-area relationships. The process of sampling and data analysis can be accomplished in a single three hour period.

Main page Course Description: Biology 1C is an introductory botany course, intended for biology majors, emphasizing the structure, function, and diversity of plants. Plant diversity is examined at the level of the cell, tissue, and organism. How this diversity is determined genetically as well as the occurrence of diversity within populations is considered. The unique features of reproduction and the proposed evolutionary origin of the major plant groups are discussed. The interaction of plants with other organisms and the utilization and dependence of humans upon plants comprise additional course topics. The course format consists of lectures, hands-on laboratory exercises, and local field trips. Importance of Course: Biology is the study of life. As such, it is often contradictory, confusing, and complex on many levels. Biology has many generalizations to which exceptions exist. We will see many of these generalizations and their exceptions through this course. Botany is the study of the organisms that make life on this planet possible. As with all areas of life science, exceptions abound. Many people look at plants as simply background to animals, however, without plants and other photosynthetic organisms life on this planet as we know it would not exist.

Book Review Cladistics. A Practical Course in Systematics written by Peter L. Forey, Christopher J. Humphries, Ian J. Kitching, Robert W. Scotland, Darrell J. Siebert, and David M. Williams (From ASBS Newsletter Number 79, June 1994) Publisher: The Systematics Association Publication No. 10. Clarendon Press / Oxford University Press, Oxford. 1992. xi+191 pp. ISBN 0-19-857767-2. As some of you will have noticed by now, I have been looking for a good introductory book about cladistics. I have, in fact, been looking for some years now, and it's been a pretty depressing process. While I don't claim to have any moral relationship to either King Arthur or Don Quixote, the zetetic legends surrounding these two figures are beginning to seem very realistic to me. Unfortunately, after reading this book, I have realized that my quest has not yet come to an end. Most of the systematics books that I've encountered so far in my search have either been written by someone who claims little expertise in cladistics, and who therefore misrepresents it out of ignorance, or they have been written by experts who get so tied up in the minutiae that they can't see the wood for the trees. The first of these books make good compost, while the second type are only of practical use to the cognoscenti This is not to say that there aren't some good general introductions out there. For example, the chapter by Michael G. Simpson in
