Provide quiz via powerpoint in class. Matching

90% able to ID Carbohydrates

85% able to ID proteins

50% able to ID Lipids

50% able to ID Nucleic acids

Utilize review time on lipid and nucleic acid concepts. Increase amount of lecture time on lipids and nucleic acids

3/10/00

Bio 1111

Students will be able to ID chemistry concepts in relation to Biological processes

Internet quizzes with results e-mailed to instructor (open book)

Average grade 85%.

Most oftern missed question dealt with hydrogen bonding

Review hydrogen bonding in lecture. Focus more time in future to hydrogen bonding

3/20/00

Bio 1111

Students will be able to organize critical components of aerobic respiration

Matching quiz

Glycolysis 75%

Kreb’s cycle 50%

ETP 40%

Specific concepts in Kreb’s cycle and ETP need review and more time in lecture
