4.07 Lab (Day 1) Quiz
In order to answer each quiz question correctly, you will need to complete a virtual lab entitled "Model Ecosystems found on the following website: http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_02/BL_02.html Open a separate browser window (or tab) so you can complete the quiz while you work through the lab exercise. |
Points will be earned automatically _IF_ you provide the auto-grading feature with a typed response that is in the appropriate format. Typed answers, in the form of a word or phrase, MUST be spelled correctly to earn full credit. Only include capital letters or other punctuation if it is truly needed for the statement to be grammatically correct.
After submitting your completed quiz, be sure to review the graded version for autograding accuracy. Please know that I am more than willing to reevaluate the autograding of a question (or questions); however, you will need to let me know when human intervention is desired. If you discover a response has been marked as incorrect by the autograding feature and you feel it is an acceptable answer based on my grading guidelines, send me a k-mail message with the affected question number or numbers.
Thank You!
