Home Syllabus Quizler Moodle

Fall 2008
Welcome to IB 471, General Mycology. This course provides an introduction to the various groups of fungi, their morphology, biological activities and economic importance.

The IB 471 web site is organized into five basic parts. You are currently on the Home Page. If you click on Syllabus, you will be able to access, view and print the (1) Lecture outlines, (2) laboratory exercises, and (3) PowerPoint lecture presentations and image galleries for each week. The Quizler link leads to a set of self-tests. There is one self-test for each lecture/laboratory. The self-tests are organized by lecture number. The Moodle link takes you to the communication forum for the course. A password is required for this site. All announcements, questions, discussions and communication with the instructor and TA will be handled via Moodle. Some assignments will be turned in via Moodle.

So now step into the wonderful Kingdom of the Fungi
