Lectures: 

Lectures will be held in a two hour slot every week.  It is expected that you will have done the readings prior to attending the class.  The content of these lectures will cover basic areas of insect physiology and will hopefully provide a base for the seminars, which will deal with specific cases and examples.

Seminars: 

Each student will be responsible for presenting one seminar.  The seminar topics will complement and continue the lectures given earlier in the week.  The material given in the seminars will enhance our understanding of the various aspects of insect physiology.  Each seminar will be 20 minutes in length and will be followed by questions and discussion.  The papers for the seminars have been compiled into a custom published book which can be bought at the Bookstore.  Students will present the material in the paper that they have chosen.  This will entail looking up extra references which will give them the ability to properly introduce, understand and explain the work in the paper.  It is expected that every student in the course will have read the papers prior to attending class.  Students will also be expected to hand out an outline (maximum two pages) which will be used by the other students to revise for the tests.
