Midsemester exam for Biol201
Many students, having only studied their laboratory exercises using the
interactive practice on the website, the FAP diskettes, and A.D.A.M.
interactive, are concerned about the "hands on" midsemester for
Biol201. This page should give you a better understanding of what you will
be doing. The questions are all based on the lab exercises you have done
so far in this course. Click on the links or the small images to see
larger images.
- Your Laboratory
is being prepared by your
instructor. Note the models and the "testing stations" all
around the room. You will move from one station to another during the
exam, answering the questions posed at each station.
- At this station
you will have to identify two
things: The muscle on the model's leg and the bone. You will be
asked to name the "tagged" object and identify it's structure and
function.
- This close-up of a station
shows you the
relationship between what you studied and what you will be asked to do on
the midsemester.
- This station
shows how questions about
the brain are learned and how they are tested.
- The brain
as tested here repeats an
example of the correlation between the format that you use to learn the
brain structure and function and the way you are tested.
- You learned from pictures of slides
while the
students attending lectures on campus learned looking through the
microscope.
- But looking through the microscope
, focused
by the instructor, shows the slide as if it were, indeed the picture.
Note on the previous slide that when you learned the slide from the book
that the structure was stained with a brown stain. When you look at
the structure through the microscope the stain is a purple stain. Also
note that the instructor added an arrow to help you focus on the most critical
partition of the structure. You must learn to recognize the structures
on the slides and pictures of slides, not the colors of the dyes.
- A sample question
for you to answer at a
workstation
- The station
is ready for the student to open and answer the questions.
- This overview of the classroom
shows the room before the exam.
- Here the students are busy taking the exam
- Time to change stations
