SELF-TEST

Welcome to the Animal Biology Lecture Self-test!  This test includes sample multiple choice questions similar to those you will see on a lecture exam. I will post these sample questions according to the general topics covered in lecture, so you can go to each topic of interest (see hotlinks below). While I am creating this web page, I will be posting questions as we go. Questions on all of the topics covered on a particular exam will be posted within one week before the exam, so you’ll have time to use the self-test after you have studied the material to see how well you’re doing.

If you notice ambiguous or poorly worded questions, or answers that you think were given in error, please let me know!

    This Self-test is not meant to substitute for studying on your own!!! PLEASE REMEMBER that the self-test is representative, but not necessarily comprehensive!      I don’t have room to give a sample question on every single subject we discuss, so you STILL NEED TO STUDY EVERYTHING. Just because a particular item is not on the self-test doesn’t mean it won’t be on the exam. All topics we discuss are fair game for the exam.
