Special Arrangements
All lectures will run from 1.00 - 2.00 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays in the Daniel Rutherford Lecture Room 2. Practicals will run from 2.00 - 4.00 p.m. in the Rutherford building teaching labs. There will also be a tutorial series from 2.00 - 4.00 p.m. on selected Thursdays (sse course book for details).
As biological sciences courses have a 1.00 p.m. start, the Plant Physiology course schedule was not compatible with the available times to select from timetab. Hence, this information has been included here. |
