Use these objectives as broad guidelines for studying. Be aware that these objectives 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 objectives encompass the same breadth of concepts and skills. For example, there may be two or more exam questions related to objective #10, because there are numerous concepts within this objective.

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

Activity	#	Objective	Primary Assessment
Any Lecture	1	Describe a current biology news story that was introduced in lecture	Any Exam

The broader concepts from weeks one through six (organ systems, homeostatis, etc.) will appear on the cumulative portion of the final exam (approximately 10 of the 60 questions on the final exam).
