Biology Open Labs |
In addition to the Science Tutoring Center, several Open Labs are held each semester in biology laboratories in both the Science building and the Florestano building for students who want to review laboratory materials. Biology faculty are available to tutor and answer questions. The Open Labs are not to be used as make-up labs or to conduct experiments. They are designed for students who need additional time to review prepared materials such as slides, models, or dissections. The schedule for Open Labs varies from semester to semester. The schedule for the current semester is shown below.
