Back in the swing of things.... With Cell Reproduction

With the exception of a few students, you have all taken the midterm exam.  As of now there will be a 2% curve on all tests because the highest score was a 98%  Everyone will receive these two % points.  You will ALSO have the opportunity to correct your answers to receive half of your points back.  Stay tuned for that tomorrow along with an extra credit option.

When you weren't taking your exam, you were reading through the next couple sections in the book and filling out a reading guide on these.  Today we started with the following daily questions.
