BIOS 242 Midterm Exam Study Guide.


The Midterm Exam is worth 120 points. It consists of the following.


 There are 26 multiple choice questions, worth 3 points each, for a total of 78 points.

 There are four matching questions, worth 4 points each, for a total of 16 points.

 There are two short answer questions, worth 8 points each, for a total of 16 points.

 There is one short answer question worth 10 points.

 The exam contains three 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 among the TCOs. The entire exam is worth 120 points.

 You will have 2 hours to complete the exam. It will cover all TCOs and assignments up to and including

Week 4.


 On the short answer questions, your answers should be succinct, fully address each part of the question,

and demonstrate your knowledge and understanding in a concise but complete answer. Some students

opt to work on the short answer questions first due to their higher point value and length of time needed

to adequately address each question. But this is entirely your choice.
