Extra credit question (4 points; it shows as 0 points in this exam so that Canvas will not count it in the denominator, I will manually add up to 2 points as appropriate when grading so that it will show as extra credit). When writing this test, I attempted to effectively cover material that we have learned so far. But you have assuredly studied and learned a lot more than we could possibly cover in this exam! Please consider any single topic you learned about that I didn’t ask you about on this test, name the topic, and then carefully explain that topic here. If you can’t think of anything you studied that I didn’t cover, or you think I covered everything, please instead just pick any topic you learned about and explain it to me. Write at least a short paragraph (minimum 4-5 sentences), although you may go longer. Please do not: list names of multiple topics, or just tell me you found [name of topic] to be really interesting. You may tell me [name of topic] was really interesting, but you must demonstrate to me that you learned about and understand the topic by explaining how it works. Relax, and please don’t stress – this is your chance to choose your own topic/question and show me you learned something from this course by telling me about it – i.e., this is meant to be a very gentle last question on this exam! 🙂 Copyright 2025 by Edmonds College Department of Biology.
