Course Content - Family Cucurbitaceae
As mentioned on the Course Content Introduction page, "Assigned readings," "assigned video lectures" and "assigned web resources" are the key content for this course and information within these assignments will be used in the development of assessment tools - i.e., quizzes, exams, etc.
Also note that the first link under each "Assigned Video Lectures" heading is to the original Prezi content. If you'd like to learn more about how I've created the video lectures you'll be watching (hopefully) throughout the semester, I've actually recorded a video about the process I use for recording videos the you can watch by clicking here!
"Supplemental" readings, web resources, and video content can be helpful in providing additional context to the assigned materials. It's likely that over the course of the semester additional supplemental resources will be added to this page, so plan to check back frequently.
And, if you come across a resource you believe would be a helpful addition to this content page, please do share it with me.
