BIO 111: FOUNDATIONS OF BIOLOGY

TEST ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

The first exam will be given during lecture period on tuesday. It is designed to be a 50 minute exam, but you will have the entire period to complete it. You will only be given additional time if you have submitted a permission sheet from the office of disabilities services.

The exam will have 10 fill-in, worth 2 pts each, and 12 short answer questions worth 6 pts (8) and 8 pts (4).

There will NOT be a statistical question on this exam (like, from the lab). There WILL be one question from the labs we have had; probably emphasizing a topic covered by one of the questions on a lab handout.

As always, many of the test questions will be straight from the study questions.
