How is it December already?  Where did this semester go

 

 

Final Projects will be assigned in Teams at 8:00 AM on Monday December 4th.  Students will have all of their class periods this week to complete their finals; they are allowed to work on them outside of class but should not need to.   FINAL PROJECTS ARE DUE THURSDAY DECEMBER 7TH AT 3:30 PM; NO EXCEPTIONS. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

This week students are wrapping up their learning before the end semester and finals begin. 

 

 

In class this week students will be working on a mammal "March" Madness bracket as we continue our study of Ecology and how different abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems impact each other.

Final Exam: Students will have a project for Biology rather than a final test for the Fall semester.  They will have in class time on Monday December 4th and Wednesday December 6th to work on their project.  FINALS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 3 PM ON THURSDAY DECEMBER 7TH; ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS.
