The topic in each box indicates the lesson plan for that day. Video lectures (VL) will be linked to the
Evolution page on the class wiki. Watch the video and take careful notes. I have also given you the
textbook sections from which the information came. You may wish to read these for aditional
information on each topic. We will have several 5-minute quizes about the homework, for which you
may use your written notes.
