BI 336 Cell Biology

Revised Syllabus - Lecture notes links should be updated, for practice questions and problems see http://methanogens.pdx.edu/boone/courses/BI336/BI336.html

Midterm 1: Mean: 34. Standard deviation: 6. Key here (Explanation of answers here:) Histograms (For Both Exams)

Midterm 2: Mean: 31. Standard deviation: 6. Hillman Key, Paucek Key, Stedman Key.

Final Exam: (Scaled) Mean: 34. Standard deviation: 8.

Final Grades :

Grades will be on a different scale from Dr. Boone, probably with 2-3 point lower cutoffs. All grading will be done by examination, there will be no problem sets.
