BIOS242 Midterm Study Guide The Midterm Exam is worth 120 points. It consists of:  20 multiple choice questions worth 4 points each for a total of 80 points.  2 essay questions worth 20 points each for a total of 40 points.  The exam contains 2 pages, which can be completed in any order. You may go back and forth between the pages.  Questions are randomly selected for each student from pools of questions. This means that not everyone will have the same questions. Even if you do have some of the same questions, they may not be in the same order. These questions are distributed amongst the TCOs.

Some students opt to work on the essay questions first, due to their higher point value and length of time needed to adequately address each question. But this is entirely your choice.  Remember, always use proper citation when quoting other sources!

Changing a few words in a passage does NOT constitute putting it in your own words and proper citation is still required. Borrowed material should NOT dominate a student’s work, but should only be used sparingly to support your own thoughts, ideas, and examples. Heavy usage of borrowed material (even if properly cited) can jeopardize the points for that question. Uncited
