Shepherd University and Covid-19
Dear Biology Majors, Biology Minors, and Web-site Visitors,
First and foremost, take care of yourselves, your family, friends, and fellow community members. Follow the laws, guidelines, rules, and recommendations of your local government officials. In order to control the pandemic we must all act as one coordinated unit.
This Spring 2022, Biology courses will continue to be taught in three main modes, in-person (FTF), as hybrid courses (HYA and HYS) or completely online (OLA and OLS). Depending on the mode, lecture material will be delivered in person in a lecture room following university Covid-19 protocols. Online courses will be delivered through the Brightspace learning management system. Many labs will meet in person; there is no substitute for learning a skill by actually performing it. The Biology faculty will strive to bring the best education experience possible under these pandemic conditions. As always, the health of our students, visitors, staff, and faculty will be our foremost concern as the university opens a safe and vibrant campus.
Sincerely,
Biology Faculty
