The homework "quiz" for bio

Hi folks,

I'm still getting used to the Canvas quiz thing so this week's "quiz" is quite tricky to do well on.  Even if you get the right answer, if you don't get it EXACTLY right it doesn't give you credit.  I'm going to go in after you guys do the assignment and just mark the grade a full 100%.  Do the best you can, and be sure to study the answers so that you know what's right and wrong for future quizzes but don't worry about spelling errors or other minuscule problems.

Sorry about the frustration on this.  A lot of new stuff to learn in this new world of online grading.

Best,

Jim Mueller

Invitation to Canvas for Biology Class

Hi folks,

Quite a few folks still haven't signed up for Canvas at this point.  I'm going to resend the invitations.  The subject says "Canvas Free for Teachers" so please keep your eyes open for it.

I hope everyone is doing well out there!

Best,

Kingdom Chart

Hi folks,

Here's a nice chart of the important things to remember for the various kingdoms.  This will be useful for this week's homework as well as the upcoming quiz.

3/17 Biology Recording

Hi folks,

Here's the recording of the content for this week but unfortunately not from today's class.  With all the newness going on I forgot to hit record and I failed to record today's class.  However, this recording is from the Monday biology class and includes the same material.

3/17 Biology - Classification

Hi everyone!

Our new experiment with our online biology class seemed to go well this morning.  I hope you all had a good experience with it as well.

Some more new news!  I've created a Canvas account which will allow us to do this distance class thing quite a bit easier.  Each week I will be posting all of the assignments and the grades to the site.  You all have access to your very own student pages so that you can keep track of your grades and the assignments that you may be missing.  This is new to me so please don't be surprised if there are some bumps in the road but I believe this will make things easier and more accessible for all of us.

You may have an email from the site already.  Please be sure that parents and students register for the site.  It's all free and is quite nice. 

Your homework for each week will be posted to the site and (I think) you'll get notifications when new things get assigned.  No more hunting through your emails to try to find assignments!

Please be sure to sign up for the site as soon as possible.  Your homework is waiting for you!

By the way, quiz next week so be sure to study today's material (pay special attention to the homework) and be sure to spend some time with speciation as well.

Best,

Jim Mueller
