-- use it or lose it!

Less educate (because they think less and therefore use the brain less?) have double the risk of getting Alzheimer's disease than people with a college education! (click!). For this reason -- among other reasons, you are going to memorize the figures/lists of terms below -- terms important to understand and discuss biology. Obviously there are many more terms that are important -- but this is a start, and in addition to exercising the brain by memorizing them, it will help you understand some of the concepts discussed in class. The procedure and grading criteria are simple and follow the "all or nothing" philosophy: At some point in the semester, when the class meets in the lab, Inform the instructor that you wish to fill in the quizzes to demonstrate that you have memorized them. (The instructor will provide the test sheets.) All answers must be correct, including spelling. You have THREE attempts per quiz, up to a certain deadline noted in the Semester Calendar or in the Grade Recorder. If you get all terms correct on a quiz you EARN a 100. If you miss one (including incorrect spelling) you EARN a zero.

UPDATE for ONLINE and HYBRID classes! Since the "invention" of the Internet -- and especially the WWW, education has increasingly become an online activity. Our world change. To update this class to the 21st century, the Memorization Quizzes in ONLINE and HYBRID classes now use Blackboard for delivery, and has been renamed "Memorization Worksheet Quizzes". All quizzes use the "repetition philosophy" to help you learn the figures/list of terms. When taking the quizzes on Blackboard you may repeat each quiz as many times it takes to EARN 100. (You must earn 100 to receive any points for a particular quiz.) The Worksheet memorization Quizzes are located on Blackboard Plaza. (NOTE: In face-to-face classes taught by Dr. Nilsson, the students still take the Memorization Quizzes with the "original" method -- in the classroom. Only hybrid and online classes take the Memorization Worksheet Quizzes located on Blackboard.)

If you are taking the Memorization Quizzes in the physical classroom (i.e., you are in a face-to-face class), you may only attempt ONE quiz per day -- and only when the class meets in the LAB. Plan your quiz taking so you will be able to finish, and attempt the quiz three times if necessary, within the deadline noted in the Semester Calendar...
