Chapter 1 Examination-Objectives -Always
use your Chapter Objectives as your directive to the
homework. Keep a copy on the desktop, or a hardcopy, and
fill in the information needed to meet the objective.
-Using
the SQ4R
method, read Chapter 1 in the text. Do the reading and
study exactly as it is described in the
SQ4R
procedure. Do
not cheat on this you're only hurting
yourself! -After
reading Chapter 1, and answering what you can of your
objectives, complete the homework assignments listed
below. Copy and past a copy of your objectives into your
word processor. Cut and paste text, and graphics, from
the online activities to make yourself a document that
you can use in your study group. Ask questions in
class about any of the Objectives
that you could not answer. You must take responsibility
for being as prepared for the exam as you can possibly
be. I will help where I can, but I can't do much if I
don't know what your problems are. You must study until
you are capable of determining if you need help.
Being able to ask
questions and recite with other students can make all of
the difference in your mastery of the material. A group
that can meet face-to-face is the best situation, but if
that can be arranged then using Homeroom
D-140 Post and
Discuss
is the next best thing. Click the link and register. Get
your Study Group members to register and you have a way
of communicating so that on the night before the night
before the exam you RECITE
orally, or write, the answers to the objectives with the
group not using your notes. This will be the final
confirmation that you know the material and are ready to
take the examination. If you are still not ready for the
exam, at least you have one more day to
prepare.

Reading
your text is the basis of all instruction in 10 Honors
Biology. You must SQ4R
your text before the classroom activities and web site
links are used. The text represents the baseline data
necessary for your understanding.
The
reading must be done, no
exceptions.
Your instructor expects it to be done and will take it
for granted that you have completed this aspect of the
learning process each time a new section is begun.
Failing to meet this expectation will clearly affect your
grade in this course.
