Take home quiz!

NOTE: PLEASE COMPLETE THE BRIEF POLL AT THE RIGHT.  


Today we reviewed the exam and went over strategies for constructed response questions.  Some pointers:

1. The number of points indicates how many "informational nuggets" you need to dish out.  [total 8 marks] means you need to provide at least 8 distinct pieces of information to get full credit.
   
2. You don't lose points for incorrect or irrelevant information - so it's better to hedge your bets and put as much information down as you reasonably can.
3. You have freedom to construct your response how you want - bullet points, a chart, a table, a diagram, or narrative prose can all be excellent ways to respond depending on the question and your strengths.
4. If you have the time, be elegant - because especially high-quality responses can earn you up to two extra "bonus points" that pull up your overall score or compensate for a lack of information.
   

A take-home quiz is the consummate gift to you: a chance to recoup or maximize your quiz grade and a chance to practice the art of the constructed response - all with ample time at your disposal so that you may put the maximum of effort into your endeavors.  If you don't get at least a 100%, it will be because of your laziness, not your intelligence or test taking skill.

So, your assignment for Tuesday is:

On unlined, white paper, hand write a constructed response to the following prompt:


     1.  Explain the various methods cells use to transport materials across membranes. (Total 8 marks)


You might look back at the lecture notes for cell transport (posted online), your class notes, and the textbook for resources.

Also, please remember that your DCP write-up for our osmosis lab is due Wednesday.  Late papers will not be accepted.

Thanks!
