and related links, as your primary source material for
chemistry and cells. CDs with pretests and post-tests can
evaluate your progress. The post-test grades may be
recorded as part of the course requirements. A minimum
score of 80% is required on each tutorial. If the 80% is
not achieved, then you must redo the tutorial until you
reach the required level. Review-The

COPY and PASTE the Objectives
for
Examination
# 2
onto a page in your word processing program. With the
information from classroom lectures and the links to the
internet, fill in the objective sheet. The
Objective
sheet will be your study guide for the second
exam. -Using
the SQ4R
method, read Chapter 3 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 the Chapter, 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 studt 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 reciting 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 creating your own group
blog
is the
next best thing. Click on the Blogger
Start
link. If you use Instant
Messenger,
that's wonderful. Whatever will get you into a group, do
it! 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.

Go to
The
Virtual Cell Tour.
Move
around on the graphic of the cell and click on the
organelles. You'll get a minitutorial on the structure
and function of that cellular organelle. 2.
Go to an
Introduction
to Cell and Virus
Structure.
Read
down to the listing for an Animal Cell. Click on the
Animal
Cell
link and go to the page. You can click on the structures
in the graphic or click on the listings further down in
the document. Read the page and learn the structure and
function relationships of each cell organelle. Repeat the
process for a Bacterial
Cell,
a Plant
Cell
and a Virus. 3.
Here's an excellent tutorial complete with self-checking
questions on the Properties
of Cells.
Read the text, use the links and answer the
questions. 4.
Go to
Cultured
Cells.
Read
the text and examine the cell graphics. These are
pictures taken with a scanning electron microscope. The
colors are not the true colors of the cells. These colors
have been added with a paint program to enhance their
contrast. The value of these pictures is in seeing the
exterior of cells in a three dimensional form.
At
the bottom of the page are links to other pictures. Some
are three dimensional and others are tissue sections that
have been color enhanced. 5.
Use Kimball's
Pages
as a resource to look up information on each of the areas
studied. His text materials are a bit harder to
interpret, but they are thorough. 6.

understand and retain. Click on this link

Quiz.
Take the test and submit it for grading. If
you don't get at least an 80%, then check the questions
that were incorrect and determine where you made your
mistake. After reviewing the test, take it
again. 7.

This portion of the A & P course focuses on the
fundamentals of biochemistry and the structure and
function of the cell. Either lecture and discussion, or a
self-paced, self-teaching component using CDs,
traditional text materials, and online presentations will
be used to "review/relearn"
