Opportunity to add 10 points to your ch 16-17 exam!!!

Dear Honors biology classes:

As many of you know, I had some very respectful and mature students come after school today and talk to me about the last exam. It is because of them, and how wonderfully they handled themselves that I am offering this opportunity. My hope in doing this is that it indirectly encourages all of you to advocate for what you believe in during your future endeavors in an equally mature and respectful manner.
You will each have the opportunity to earn 10 points (not to exceed 100%) onto your chapter 16-17 exam score by answering 2 essay questions. One will be on DNA replication, the other Gene expression.

This opportunity will be offered on two different dates; hopefully one of them will be convenient for you.

The first date is Thursday 6/11. It will take place after school during the make-up exam. I will post a room number tomorrow once I find the location/time of the make-up exams.

The second date will be on Friday 6/13 and will happen RIGHT after the last final in room 123.

Please be advised these essays will be graded on the facts you can provide to ensure me you have mastered the material that is often deemed, “the central dogma” to biology!

See me, or email me if you have any questions.

Good luck on your finals!

A lot of important info

Dates:
Final version of debate papers due 6/8...that is an "A" day so don't leave yours at home

I will be checking your final exam review journals on this day as well...

Final:
Bring the following to the final exam:
pencil
textbook
water

The final has a lot of questions on it. Students will only be given one and a half hours to complete. You can come early to get your book checked in so we can start right at the starting bell. Please work on your study guides as this will enable you to answer the questions faster and hence earn more points. The final's curve will be out of whoever answers the most questions correctly.
