Midterm Exam Information


Hello Everyone-

Just a few things to say about this exam...it is on chapters one, two, three and some of chapter 4 of your textbook, heavy emphasis on Chapter 2. Many of the questions will look similar to quiz questions. You may also have diagrams (think cell and brain lobes) as well as short answer and essay.

Chapter 1 is barely covered, just read it, know generalities about systems/ person in environment etc. Don't worry about RACE at all in chapter 4. We haven't gotten there yet.

Know the definition of bureaucracy.

Everything given to you in the midterm discussion area as well as on this blog (which is supportive to chapter 2 and genetic disorders, especially) is considered study guide information. I suggest you post your group notes to Blackboard if you haven't already in the midterm section.

I suggest that you attempt downloading all of your study guide powerpoint slides information immediately- if you wait until the last minute and your computer is acting badly or Blackboard is acting up...doesn't really matter, because you should already have all of this information in hand, because I am giving it to you today. In other words, there will be no accepted excuses.

It is expected that you have the textbook, and you are responsible for its contents. You are expected to have a computer and internet connection that you are able to access.

I also suggest that you do a study group...

So that is it...I will be in here all day if you come up with more questions. Post them in the "Ask professor Holmes" section so everyone can see the answer.

Thank you, and best of luck- I know you will do fine!

Dr. Holmes
