Update on the Test

After much thought and discussion, we are going to change a few things about the test coming up this Monday. Here are the changes....

1. No Evolution material will be on the exam. This material will be covered on the final exam, so questions that pertain to the evolution notes will be useful in preparing for the final.
2. The exam will include material from the geological time periods presentations. If you feel your notes are lacking, check out the website where you should find the script for each group. If for some reason, one or more of the geological time periods are "missing" use your textbook to fill in the gaps.
   
3. The test format will be as follows:
1. 30-40 completion questions
2. 2-4 short answer questions
3. 1 essay
4. The first two sections of the test will be open book, the essay will be closed book (i.e., you turn in the first two sections, put away your notes, and then get the essay)

Tomorrow's plan for class is to:

1. Take the Soils and Biogeochemical Cycles quiz (10 minutes to take + 5 minutes to grade)
2. Complete the Variation activity
3. Discuss Soils and Biogeochemical Cycles notes (we can focus on the questions posted on the blog)
