Biology Computer Lab
Boykin 211

Come visit us!  Biology students have access to their own computer lab. There are 25 PC computers with Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007, Internet access and a link to the Biology Server that stores a multitude of study aids.  In addition to the links on the Biology Server the Computer Lab has  VHS Tapes and DVD's you can use that relate directly to subject matter covered in your classes.  If you are looking for additional help with class work, need to do research or just need a quite place to study, we have what you are looking for.

Why should you enroll in BIOSCI 050L?

Students enrolled in BIOSCI 050L have free use of the dedicated Biology Computer Laboratory.  The lab has Internet access, Microsoft Office, ProQuest, printers and a lot of study aids, multimedia and tutorials.  Students enrolled in BIOSCI 050L have priority over students not enrolled in the course, including priority seating and use of equipment and media.

BIOSCI 050L BIOLOGY COMPUTER LABORATORY
Units: 0.50, May Be Taken 4 Times

Open to students enrolled in a biology course, this computer laboratory supports biological concepts, processes, and laboratory exercise through interactive programs. Units do not apply to the associate degree and offered credit/no-credit only. (Formerly BIOSCI-050)
Note: Open lab is scheduled 'to be announced,' so it is the students' responsibility to sign-in and out when completing lab hours. The student must complete a minimum of 25.5 hours per semester to earn 1/2 unit of credit. Open lab is not a required course for any certificate or degree in biology. Open lab hours must be accrued at a time separate from any other class in which the student is also registered.

Hours are TBA. 
Current schedule of open lab hours are posted on the door of BYKH-211 and available here.

Instructor in charge of the class is Professor Dr. Miriam Golbert

Add slips may be obtained from Department faculty, lab staff or Dr. Miriam Golbert.  Add slips are not required until after the end of open enrollment.
