Biology 011 Information

BIOL 011 Biology Practicum is for students of BIOL 251, 252, and 253. It will be held on the weekends, it is essentially an open, staffed lab where students may come and study lab material and get assistance from an instructor. To support this program, we have students enroll for 1 credit of BIOL 011 Biology Practicum. The grade for BIOL 011 is "S", satisfactory as long as you pass the associated lab course. The specific days and times will be announced by your 25X Lab instructor. Attendance is optional; most students find it very useful and I encourage you to take advantage of it. It is a pretty unique program, most schools with similar classes don't have such an opportunity for students. Please let me know if you have further questions.

• Final exam comments: The high score was 92, top eleven scores were: 92, 91, 91, 90, 89, 89, 88, 88, 87, 85, 85
  Average percent was 73% based on the high score of 92.
  Average Raw score was 67 of 100 questions answered correctly.
  
• On the gradesheet the number in the column labeled "final" is the number of questions you answered correctly multiplied by 2, e.g., a 140 means 70 questions were answered correctly. The column labeled "finalr" is the number of questions answered correctly.
  
• Other notes:
• 1. If you have any questions about your Fall quarter grade, I will be happy to discuss this with you Winter quarter. I do not return Final Exams or post keys for them.
• 2. Please do not email or telephone about grades during the break. It is never too late for a change to be made in your grade if I have made an error. I will resolve any grading issues with you next term.
• 3. Please note: the secretaries in the Science office or my colleagues in adjoining offices have no information about your grade.
• 4. if you did not earn at least a C grade, you are not eligible to take BIOL& 252.

  Biology 252 Course Materials

• UPDATED with Final Exam scores and course grades: 252 test scores
  Notes on the final: high score was 92; average was 65 questions answered correctly meaning the average based on the high score of 92 was 71%, this is good for a 252 final exam. The top 10 scores were: 92, 90, 90, 89, 84, 83, 83, 82, 82, 82....

  • 253 Spring Grades UPDATED with Final Exam scores. Average course grade was 85.6%, awesome!; Great work! Take yourself to dinner! Have some fun! Find out who lives at your place!... PLEASE NOTE: The score for your final is equal to the number of questions you answered correctly multiplied by 2. For example, if you have 140 points listed for the final that means your final exam score was 70 correct responses. The highest number of correct responses was 94. The high score on the final was 94.
