here.
Students must finish these notes right away by completing the Lecture Guide, which will be distributed in class TODAY (Tuesday, June 2nd)
. The Lecture Guide will be collected on the day of your final, Biology students, and treated as part of your notes. Make sure it is completed!
In addition, there are brief notes on 'Comparing Primates' that goes with a lab activity to be completed by the end of class on Friday, June 5th. Some of this information, from Chapter 32, will appear on your final:
Again, students who need to download this Power Point to complete their note can do so
here.
ALSO.... there will be no Study Session for the Final this year, as (unlike previous spring semesters), Finals begin on a Monday, rather than a Thursday. A Study Guide, however, will be available on Friday, June 5th.
The most important obligation for all students, however, is the ESSAY. The Final Draft is past due. Students who have not attempted this 600-point Project have been notice in class. No essays will be accepted after Monday, June 8th.
