Biology 253 Announcements

Fri. 11/20/09 -- For those of you who still need to complete your Metabolic Pathways Exam, your next (and last) opportunity to do so will be next Tuesday 11/24.  I will be in lab from 1PM-8PM that day (with the exception of when the evening lecture occurs from 5-6:15PM), so come on in!  Get your pathways down pat over the weekend, because as I've said before, this is a golden opportunity to earn a great score and boost your overall percentage! ☺

 

Fri. 11/20/09 -- Scroll down to the area between the prep guides and the Blood Tracing Exam Info to link to my official study tips for the cumulative Final Exam.  Of course, you have several other tests that will be occupying your focus and studying efforts between now and finals week, but I wanted to make this document available early enough to answer a lot of the questions that I've been already getting about the final.  Let me know if you have further questions or concerns!

 

Fri. 11/20/09 -- The Prep Guide for Lecture Exam 3 is now available (scroll down).

 

Thu. 11/19/09 -- Scroll down to the area between the lecture notes and the prep guides to link to the study tips and strategies offered by three 253 students who have scored well on lecture exams.  Thank you again to those three students for taking the time to write and share in order to help their classmates!

 

Wed. 11/18/09 -- IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:  it has come to my attention that the integrity of the HAPS Comprehensive Exam (which, as you know, I was planning to use as our Final Exam this quarter) has been compromised.  I'll explain the details of what I know in lecture tomorrow, but it is important to emphasize that it was not a member of our class who breached the integrity of this exam.  As a result of this incident, you will be taking a Final Exam that I have written instead, and we will discuss in lecture the details of what you can expect on this exam, as well as study strategies for you to utilize in order to do your best on it. 

 

Mon. 11/16/09 -- Thanks for your patience, folks...we lost power for a couple of hours at 4:30PM as I was finishing up grading the lab exams (no joke!), but it's back on now thank goodness.  Lecture Exam 2 was a challenging one, with an average of 91.3/125 (73%), but it was balanced out by a stellar performance on Lab Exam 2 (avg. = 93.6/100), so solid job overall, everybody!  Find your scores here.
