Some comments about the final exam:

• The final exam will take place as follows:




• Monday, July 22nd 11:00 a.m.



• You will have one hour and ten minutes for the final. That should be more than enough time. I anticipate 90% of you will easily be done in less than 45 minutes.


• The exam will have 60 questions, divided as follows:


• 29 questions (about 48% each) will come from each of the old exams as follows:


• I will repeat 14 - 15 questions from each of the previous exams word for word. The only change will be in the order of the answers (b becomes e, a becomes c, etc.).


• Another 14 - 15 questions will be based on the old exams, but will be reworded questions.
  
  
  • For example, here is a question from exam I:
    
    44) Plants are:
    
        a) heterotrophs
        b) autotrophs
        c) mesotrophs
        d) ogilotrophs
        e) megatrophs
    
    (correct answer = b)
    
    
    The "reworded" question becomes:
    
    #) An example of a heterotroph:
    
        a) cyanobacteria
        b) algae
        c) plant
        d) dog
    
    (correct answer = d)
  
  
  • Please read each question carefully. Reworded questions are not necessarily "easy".
  
  
• Finally, I will have 2 new questions (about 3%) from the lecture on CRISPR (they will be a bit more serious than the quiz).



• The exam format will be exactly like the previous exams (multiple choice or true/false), but will have 60 questions instead of 50
