Spring 2008
These quizzes are designed to help you evaluate your mastery of lecture and textbook concepts. For the most benefit, you should complete each quiz shortly after attending the included lectures and doing the assigned textbook readings. Each quiz will be available online by 5 PM Monday on the “Start Date” shown below. To get credit for completing the quiz, you must take it by midnight on the “Deadline Date” [usually Sunday] shown below. Otherwise these quizzes follow the protocols established last semester.
Important Notes: the web quiz system will only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher in Windows; 5.1 or higher in Mac) or Safari 1.1 or higher in Mac (not Netscape or Mozilla). If, while taking a quiz, you are inactive with no mouse clicks for more than 10 minutes, your session will automatically time-out and you will need to log back on to the system to complete the quiz. All work completed will be saved. To exit a quiz always use the quiz's LOG-OUT button. Please make sure you are not logged in to Blackboard while running a quiz.
Problems/Comments: use the following email address if you need to report a technical problem with a specific quiz: biology_101@cornell.edu (include the quiz number and a description of the question in your email message).
Instructions: Go to the BioG 102 website and click a quiz number link to go to that quiz. You need to enter your Cornell netID as the “Name” and your 7-digit CU ID number as the “Password”, then press the “OK” button. When taking a quiz, do not use the browser's "Back/Forward" buttons; use the quiz navigation buttons. You may log in and out of a quiz as many times are you like. After taking a quiz, click the "Scores Report" link below to verify that your quiz was received by the course server. Email confirmations are not sent.
Please make sure you are not running Blackboard.
