Introduction

Hello, Bio 11!

I'm James. I will be graduating from Sac State this May with my Bachelor's in Liberal Studies. I have enrolled in Bio 11 at Sierra College this Spring because the hybrid class fits better with my work schedule (I'm taking 12 units at CSUS on Tuesdays and Thursdays this Spring, and the equivalent Bio class was only offered MWF). I won't lie - I'm taking Bio 11 because it is required for my major.

I work at Safeway, and have been there for a little over 11 years. I decided to go back to school a few years ago to provide myself with an opportunity to find employment in a field that offers a schedule more reasonable for having a life (for example, having evenings and weekends with my wife and pets). My plan initially was to teach, but with the job market what it is right now I will be exploring all options.

I can't really think of any rules for the class on these blogs, but if I have to...

1. I think the example Professor Martinez started with was a good one. I personally am not offended by occasional foul language, but it is unprofessional. I'd stay away from it in any class.

2. I'm not a fan of two word responses on discussion boards. I feel like a response to something that the writer spent time on should be a couple of sentences, at least, to show that you have actually read the blog and have something to say about it.

I'm looking forward to working with you guys in class. See you all on Monday.
