AP Bio: Reproduction Files and Bio 11 Review

miranica — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:47:51 +0000

As you know I am away from March 26th to 28th. Your responsibility is to download the Reproductive System notes and questions for completion in class. Any students that have e-mailed about retests must make arrangements with the substitute teacher to write the exams (copies of the exams have been e-mailed to Ms. Mergens).

In addition I have posted review content for Biology 11. We will quickly complete the Bio 12 portion of the course once I return and move into Bio 11 review for the remainder of the course. It is incumbent on you to start reviewing sooner rather than later to be best prepared for the AP Exam on May 14th.

Enjoy the rest of your break and see you when I get back.
