Extra Credit Blog

What topics really confused you?

Prokaryotes/Fungi, Virus types, Sex Linked Traits, Functional Groups

What topics do you feel very clear on?

Cellular Respiration/Photosynthesis, Enzymes, Succession, Imprinting, Biomes,



What lab/activity was your favorite? Why?

I thought that the Toothpickase lab was helpful in understanding how enzymes work and how they are limited by things like environmental conditions and substrate concentrations.

What lab/activity was your least favorite? Why?

    I felt that the transpiration lab was a bit confusing at first.  When my group was able to complete the set-up, I felt that we did not have enough time left to collect enough data. 

If you could change something about the class to make it better, for instance the type of homework (not the amount) what would it be and why?

I think that the AP class would benefit from more exposure to AP Exam style Multiple Choice questions that relate to our unit of study.  While the study guides and online quizzes help reinforce understanding, the multiple choice tests sometimes seem like totally different beasts.  I think that packets or links to multiple choice AP style questions pertaining to the unit of study would help a lot.
