The Last Post (REALLY)

I just wanted to wrap this blog up officially. I hope that the stuff I posted here was helpful for those of you who used it. I hope that we all pass and we can get back together in the fall for biosystematics and ecology. Let's all have a wonderful summer break (well sorta for those of us taking summer classes) and be ready to buckle down for fall. I want to thank everyone who helped contribute to the information posted here, and for those of you who texted, called, and generally pestered me to update for each class. Sometimes I wondered if it was only for me, but a lot of people did mention that they used the recordings, notes, and reviews.

Also, I'm putting a bug in your ear for a little trip coming up spring break 2013. Let's see how many of us can get in on the study abroad to the Galapagos Islands next spring break! Wouldn't that be fun? I'm totally going!

Well have a great summer, and if you need me, email veebs@me.com

Take care!
Your faithful blogstress,
Val

Cell Bio Review Notes 4/16 and 4/18

So I'm trying to come up with a proper strategy to study for the cell bio exam on Friday. I've tried all of my favorite techniques, and I'm still not performing like I'd like on Dr. Stokes' tests. So I'm going back and listening to the lectures again and trying to jot down the important highlights. Thing about Dr. Stokes, you never know which thing he wants to highlight. So I'm pretty much outlining his lecture. It's probably a lot deeper than the notes I take during class. But it's an intensive process, so it will not be quick. I've gotten 4/16 and 18 done, and I'll post them as I finish. But tonight, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I'll get going on it as fast as I can. I hope this helps! <3

Study Review for Genetics Exam

I've been typing my sweet little fingers off all morning so that I can help everyone out. Here's the review and key for the cumulative part of the final tomorrow. I'm about to get to work on the non-cumulative part in just a second. Good luck! **Just wanted to add that I created this study guide with the information from previous tests. I wasn't able to transfer all of the questions, particularly the ones with images that I cannot copy. So you'll have to look over your old exams for the questions with the images. Also, again, let me say that this is not meant to be comprehensive, and while I hope it helps you, I cannot guarantee that this is what will be on the exam. It's just a helpful study guide that I hope works for all of us! Good luck!**
