BIO 111 TEACHING GROUPS

Due to the large number of students registering for this course, it has become necessary
to group the students into three (3) for teaching conveniences. Teaching will be done
simultaneously by three (3) lecturers at different venues Table 2). Weekly rotation will be
observed by the lecturers in the various groups.
