"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Biology 20 is a semester long three unit course starting on January 14 and ending on May 22, 2019. It fulfills the requirements for CSU GE (Area B2) and IGETC (Area 5).
All course materials except for the textbook will be posted here on Canvas.
Our textbook is Essentials of Ecology by Begon, Howarth and Townsend. The third edition is much more affordable than the fourth edition, and adequate for this course. You can usually get it online.

What to expect:
This course consists of lectures and discussions, along with 4 field trips (only 2 are required). Each week we will discuss assigned readings that I feel will encourage a good discussion. I strongly believe that students learn better when actively engaging with ideas. I also offer extra credit opportunities.
Contact me by email: ldigirol@ccsf.edu and put "BIO 20" in the subject line.
