Dr Upadhya, This is Sarah Moncey from BIO 111 480, I believe my student number is 18. I am writing you because I missed class due to a stomach bug that I dealt with over the weekend. I have been able to study from bed. I realized I missed the quiz for the lab as well, which is very disappointing but sometimes things happen. I have a few questions for you. I wanted to make sure the week went according to the lab syllabus. Did you only cover lab 3 Chemical Composition of Cells, or did you do any extra lab work? Would you mind if I copied the lab results from a fellow student so that I can study to the best of my ability for the next quiz? My last question is in reference to the lecture.

Do you think because I missed some of your lecture on chapter 4 I will be completely lost, or will studying the power points in conjunction with the chapter and learnsmart be enough? I had an issues accessing learnsmart at first, but have found it extremely beneficial in my test preparations. I wish the issue were resolved before the first test; it really gives me a lot of confidence in my absorption of the information. Sorry for the long-winded email. I realize this is a college course, which means lots of independent study and figuring things out on your own. I know you are probably really busy as well. My goal is to not just learn the information and dump it as soon as I take the test, but really understand the basics of biology in a deep way. I do not wish to be an inconvenience or a bother, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Thank you
