Plant Pathology Concepts and Principles

Prerequisite Informational Expectations

Because the prerequisites for this course are " BIOS 101 and 101L, or BIOS 109"; It is assumed that while there will be a range from familiar to competent to mastery among the class in the following areas; none of these areas will be "new". Thus, it will assumed that the class will be conversant in these terms and concepts.

There will be no specific test on these. They will be simply incorporated into the class. The better review / recall the student has the easier will be the mastery of the concepts of the Introductory Plant Pathology Course.
