Format

The two midterm exams and final exam will be composed of a take-home section given out in advance, and an "in class" section designed to be completed in approximately 1 hour. The exams will be comprised of a mixture of fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and essay questions. Each exam will be worth 100 points.

Content

All material from the Monday and Wednesday lectures will be covered in the exams. Exams will focus on new material, but students should also expect questions that require cumulative understanding and knowledge required to deal with this new material. The Final Exam will not be comprehensive.

The first question of each test will be:

What are the 3 primary evolutionary branches of life? (5 points)

The answer to this question is (and these must be spelled correctly) :

Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya

Taking exams

Go to the Schedule page to find exam dates.

Students must not miss any of the exams. Make-up exams will be given only in very unusual situations and if permission is obtained before the regular exam is given. Make-up exams may not be in the same format as the regular exams.

DE students are asked, if possible, to take exams in-person with the traditional students. If this is not possible, testing will be arranged with the instructor and DELTA in advance. Tests will be taken within one day of the schedule testing date unless otherwise negotiated with the instructor.
