Bio 2 – Study guide for final
Bio 2 – Study guide for final - It is impossible for me to give a study guide with everything that was covered in this course. This is my best possible attempt. You should just know everything. (It’s too easy!!!!!!) The classification will be asked as matching. Be sure to know what makes each group unique. You will not be asked life cycles but you need to know what makes each different. The test is all true/false, multiple choice and most of the classification will be matching. I can only ask a few questions per chapter and will ask more questions about the information covered since the last exam. Good luck and see you again next semester (just kidding!!!!!)
