|Activity |AP Biology |

| |Description of Activity |

|Tests |The AP Exam consists of both multiple choice questions and free response questions. Free response questions generally have |

| |several parts and require that you integrate information from various areas of chemistry. |

| | |

| |The unit tests will consist of multiple choice and free response questions from the chapters indicated in the Course |

| |Overview. There will be 10 unit tests. |

| | |

| |The multiple choice questions must be submitted online on the Thinkwell website. |

| | |

| |The free response type questions may also be submitted online by typing your response in the space provided on the tests. |

| |However, for those that may be easier to write by hand, you must fax (866) 646-3816) or email (apnuno@) your |

| |response by the deadline in order to receive full credit. Please be sure to include AP Bio in the subject line of the email |

| |or write your first and last name, AP Bio, and Mrs. Nuño on each page of the fax. |

|Homework |There will be 14 homework sets, and to get the full complement of points, you must complete at least 10 sets! These problem |

| |sets will be in multiple choice format, similar to those in the Thinkwell exercises and to those that will be on the unit |

| |tests. |

|Virtual Lab |Virtual Lab activities will be available at Online Biology Labs () and other online |

| |sites. Specific instructions on how to complete and submit virtual lab assignments will be posted in the Thinkwell |

| |Classroom. You will have a choice of labs and will need to complete at least 5 of them as well as a lab safety quiz and a |

| |summary lab assignment. |

|Participation |Discussing concepts and ideas is a very important part of learning any subject but it is particularly important in an online |

| |environment. You will need to post questions and comments in the discussion board for the different chapters. You will |

| |receive 5 participation points per chapter for posting in the discussion board. You must participate in at least 10 chapter |

| |discussions but it is definitely beneficial for you to participate in all of them! |

|Thinkwell Exercises|Each section of the textbook has 4-12 questions associated with it. These questions are scored automatically and can be |

| |repeated up to three times. Although these exercises are not required to complete the course and not graded for the course |

| |grade, it is highly recommended that you work through them for extra practice. |

|Midterm Exam |This exam will consist of 40 multiple choice questions from chapters 1—8 and 2 free response questions. |

|Final Exam |This exam will consist of 80 multiple choice questions and 4 free response questions. This format and questions will be |

| |similar to those found on the AP Biology exam. |
