I’m still working on the Midterm, but have finished the last quiz.  Patience, I am working on the Midterms… there is a lot to grade .

Here is a PDF of some notes for the light dependent reactions.

Light Dependent Reaction

Attached is the evaluation rubric for the presentation.  I expect that every presentation will include some multimedia (be it PowerPoint or overheads) and will run between 8-10 minutes.

Presentation Rubric-WS10

Attached is a PDF of the WS 2010 Presentation Topic Assignments.  The list of organisms were assigned by random number generator and represent your topic for presentation.

The title pretty much says it all.  JCC is open so we have class and the quiz as scheduled today.  Please remember that the midterm is on Wednesday.

Here are the new grade sheets, incorporating the last quiz.  The class average was a 30/50.

The new grades are calculated for BIO220.  Surprisingly the class did worse, as an average, on this test than the last one.  Maybe you should rethink when you say the test was “too easy.”

I have added the new rubric for the formal lab to the website along with an example lab writeup.

The college canceled classes for today, February 10th, so we will have to adjust the dates in class.  The next exam will be on the same date as it is now, we will just either push through the material quicker or cover less on the next exam.  Of course, covering less may be an advantage since you guys seems to think the last one was too easy, meaning I will have to work on that next time.

The lab is one that can be made up by spreading it through a couple of other labs.  It will mean that the Wednesday lab will have a little longer labs for a couple of weeks, but they will still be within the lab timeframe.

Not that class has been canceled, but in case it is, please note that the class will simply be moved back a day. The lab will be made up for the Wednesday lab.
