Bonus Question:  Thank you all for a great semester.  I am teaching several courses in the fall including genetics, biology 2, and environmental studies 1 & 2.  Are you considering any of these courses?  Why or why not if I may ask?  Brutal honesty is appreciated! It has been a treat (although rather quick) working alongside you all this semester! Take care and reach out if you need anything moving forward! PW
