Individual Activities: 

During the course of this miniunit you will be asked outline your notes in a manner that information from the text is linked to specific behavioral objectives.  The web pages  provide text that  introduces biological concepts, indicate readings in the text covering these concepts, identify specific behavioral objectives linked to the concept, provide information through inquiry over the more pertinent material  and ask questions over the material to check mastery.  The material  used for testing is outlined in the form of behavioral objectives. You need to keep a notebook where this information is  organized  in an outline form linking it to the behavioral objectives. You are also expected to write  paragraphs and draw  appropriate figures indicated in the text.  These will serve as the notes you are to study  in  preparing to take the practice exam or the exam to be used to evaluate  mastery. On line resources for each lesson  on the WWW will be provided at the end of each lesson. Click on these addresses to receive supplemental information. 
 

Interactive Activity: 

Have you establish a "study group" with other students to work together in answering the behavioral objectives? Web addresses and E-mail numbers have been  provided. 
 
 

At the end of each miniunit a practice test  will be made available.  You should take this test after you have studied all of the material provided in the miniunit are ready to be tested for mastery of the behavioral objectives. You will receive immediate feedback as to your score on the practice. If you want a diagnostic message concerning the objectives not mastered on the practice test, you may send your answers to the instructor by E-mail.
