Biology 102 2009 Objectives and Assessment

Use these outcomes as broad guidelines for studying. Be aware that these outcomes include detailed conceptual knowledge, skills, and vocabulary that are not specifically listed (you will be able to fill in these details from your lecture notes, laboratories, recitations, and textbook readings).

Not all outcomes encompass the same breadth of concepts and skills. For example, there may be two or more exam questions related to outcome #135, because there are numerous concepts within this outcome.

Occasionally news items related to course topics will be added to lecture to relay current information. This information can appear on later exams.
