What topics really confused you?
The most confusing was some parts of the Biochem chapter.
What topics do you feel very clear on?
Plants because it's the most recent.
What lab/ activity was your favorite? Why?
The best would be the Osmosis one because it was a collaborative effort between different group.
What lab/activity was your least favorite? Why?
The online Fly one because I didn't really understand how to record the data.
If you could change something about the class to make it better, for instance the type of homework (not the amount) what would it be and why?
More lectures and maybe make the powerpoints you used in the lectures available online.

Genomes: Chapter 16 Memory
Summary: Basically chapter 16 is about the 16th chromosome which lies the key to learning and memory. It also compares instinct with learning as learning is often considered the more "advance" thing to do. However, humans also do many things instinctively such as blink, breath, walk, etc. James Mark Baldwin argued that "consciousness" is for learning thing that nature failed to instill within us , but gradually what we "learned" will become instinct. The chapter goes on to explain memory in terms of genes and how thought the brained is programed by said genes it is a machine designed to learn and modify with eperience.
