Lab Exam I

  • Due No Due Date
  • Points 100

There will be a sign up for the lab exam-  you will sign up for a time slot and arrive to take the exam during the time you signed up for. 

 

Lab exams are very different from the type of exam we had in lecture.

  • There will be specimens, demonstrations and equipment set up around the room.
  • download.jpgYou will move from station to station and answer questions about each set up. 
  • Sometimes the answers will be on word answers.
  • Others will require a sentence. There will be no multiple choice, no essays. 

I wrote the lab exam by going through the Lab Manual and picking out the most important questions. Often the questions will be exactly as written in the lab manual. Others will have slight variations.

Here are the page numbers and questions you should focus on:

    • Given a new situation, be able to state the hypothesis, prediction and design an experiment with a control and experimental treatment
