[Azzi, Maya - (mazzi)]

Dear Students,

I am wishing you all the best as you wrap up the end of finals!

Please see the details below for a winter & summer course offering of PLS 359 (which is required for all PLS students) AND the promotion of our new Applied Biotechnology Major!

  1.  Winter 2020 & Summer 2021 Course Offering of PLS 359

Name and number of the course: Plant Cell Structure and Function (PLS 359) (flyer attached)

Credits: 3

Meeting time: Asynchronous online course in Winter 2020 and Summer 2021

Course description: Whether the student will work with plants as a physiologist, pathologist, ecologist, agronomist, horticulturalist, or molecular biologist, it is important to know how a plant grows, develops, and how it responds to an ever-changing environment. In this course, they will get an comprehensive understanding of plant cell structure and function.

The self-sufficient online course will include video lectures, study aides, clearly laid out powerpoint lecture files, three real life crop improvement that were made possible by concepts covered in the class, and quizzes. I also offer Zoom office hours to help students and will be available to communicate with them via email or zoom to answer their questions.

ASEMS fosters a culture of inclusive excellence at the University of Arizona by empowering STEM students with the tools necessary to succeed while recognizing their unique backgrounds and assets.

The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture, and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be practice in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.
