General Biology I Figure List

Figure WORKSHEET
can be used to draw the figures
 INSTRUCTIONS:
Purpose: Use your text book and copy -- by hand, the figures listed below. By spending some time drawing and discussing these figure you learn, and hopefully understand, their meaning and importance.

Deadlines: You should finish all drawings for a Unit before the exam for that Unit. That way you will be able to use what you learned from your drawings on the exam. The unit drawings are usually due the same day as the unit exam. (During some semesters there may be exceptions, see the calendar.) When you submit the drawings for a grade each must be in plastic sheet protector (actually, you can use one for two drawings -- one on each side) placed in a reasonable size binder (max 1/2 inch back), OR if you do not want to use plastic sheet protectors in a three-clasp folder (make sure you select a folder that makes it possible to see the complete drawings! ). Remember the following: NEATNESS COUNTS AND IS AN EASY WAY TO EARN HIGHER GRADES!

Grading note: In addition the figures must be collated properly, must have a title page, a table of contents, and all figures must have a caption explaining the figure. (Not just a figure number and a title.) Even though this is not an art class, the figures you draw for unit II and III will be graded for a little more care and accuracy. You will not be graded for artistic talent and are not expected to spend hours and hours making drawings -- the assignment is only worth a few percent of your total biology grade, but sloppy work and lack of care will not be accepted. You will then also loose the points for your unit I drawings. You must plan so you have time to do ALL the drawings for each unit. You are only asked to do a few drawings, if you don't have time to do all of them -- don't turn in the assignment.
Students: Note major figure differences between Mader textbook ed. 7 and ed. 8.
