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.

  Please note the sample tests are available in order to provide students with a general overview of testing style and degree of difficulty. Current quarter tests may cover material in a different sequence. For example, test 2 during the current quarter may not cover the same topics in the same sequence as sample test 2.

Biology 252 Course Materials

252 Grades UPDATED with Final Exam scores and course grades. Notes on the final: high score was 95; average was 68 questions answered correctly meaning the average based on the high score of 95 was 72%, this is good for a 252 final exam. The top 10 scores were: 95, 92, 92, 88, 87, 87, 87, 86, 86, 86. The "final" column show the number of questions you answered correctly multiplied by 2 (a 150 means you answered 75 questions correctly). Course grades are based on your percentage of the top student's point total.

1. If you have any questions about your Winter quarter grade, I will be happy to discuss it with you Spring quarter. Final exams are not returned.

2. Unless you have made previous arrangements with me for a letter to your program, please do not email or telephone about grades during the break. It is never too late for a change to be made in your course grade. 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. Enjoy your break - you've earned some down time.

Information regarding Spring quarter's BIOL 253 class

1. We will be covering Chapters 19-27, in that order. If you absolutely need to do some A&P during break begin reading Chapter 19 or learn the anatomy of the heart. Please note no activity for 253 is required over the break. Anything you do is voluntary.

2. Several documents, including a syllabus/schedule, some lecture notes will be posted on the Bog by the beginning of the quarter.

3. If you are already enrolled in a particular lab and would prefer to switch to a different lab, attend both labs during the first week of the term and we will attempt to accommodate you.

4. Our first day of classes is Monday, April 9th.

5. Have a good break!
