  1. Slide Review Fall 2008

  2. Grade Breakdown Lecture 50 points15% Midterm Lecture Exam 20% Final Lecture Exam 35% Overall Final Lecture Exam Dec. 12th, 2008 3:00p.m. – 5:00pm (HCB 102)

  3. Grade Breakdown Lab 15%Weekly Lab Quizzes 2.5%TA Evaluation 2.5% Notebooks 15% Midterm Practical 20% Final Practical 55% Overall You must attend 1 Lab Review and 1 Lab Practical Exam

  4. Lab Practical Review Sessions Monday Dec. 1st, 2008 9 sessions to select from: 8:30a.m. to 8:30p.m. 28 students per session

  5. Do not be late for the session you signed up for. (If you are you will have to stand by for the next available slot…) • Once checked in you can come and go as you please, but you cannot stay over your assigned time slot. • This is your opportunity to ask Q’s, see the specimens and dissections one more time….

  6. Practical Exam Wednesday Dec. 3rd, 2008 Take note of the exam time you signed up for & do not get your review & exam times mixed up! 9 sessions to choose from: Start times 8:00am – 7:30pm

  7. Practical Logistics • 26 slots per session – Do not exceed this except by special permission. • If there is no room for you in a session – then you must make another choice or find a person willing to switch with you. • Students who have special needs must have their eligibility papers on file and MUST sign up for the last review and exam sessions.

  8. Point Breakdown 25 Stations (3 Q’s per station)) 1 point per Q - 75 Points total ~1/3 TAXONOMY, IDENTIFICATION ~1/3 STRUCTURE/FUNCTION ~1/3 COMPARISIONS BETWEEN PHYLA Round 1 - 90 secondsper station Round 2 - 45 seconds per station

  9. Take Note! • The final practical exam is cumulative. • Questions will focus on the last phyla studied but there will be questions on the material studied earlier in this course. • So, study hard from Arthropoda II – Protista.(last half) and review from Microscopes – Arthropoda I. (1st half)

  10. Cheating on either final exam • Any student caught cheating - or suspected to be (acting in any way against our rules, or in any way that makes us believe that cheating could be possible) will be treated according to the rules of the Academic Honor Policy. • Take this warning seriously!

  11. The Practical Exam Grading Rules! • Capitalize taxa - ½ point WILL be deducted for not doing so. If you wish to use all capitals, make sure the first letter is most definitely TWICE as big as the rest.

  12. For example: Taxonomic terms Non-taxonomic terms Arthropoda (perfect) asconoid (perfect) arthropoda (-1/2pt) Asconoid (no deduction) ARTHROPODA(-1/2pt) Mark the first letter as a capital by:1 ARTHROPODA 2 ARTHRO… or 3ARTHRO… Be especially careful when the first letter of a taxa looks the same regardless of upper/lower casing. Oligochaeta (perfect) simple (perfect) oligochaeta (-1/2pt)Simple (no deduction)

  13. Spelling:1 letter will be over looked • 2 letters - lose ½ point • 3 letters - lose 1 point • These rules only apply if 1 or 2 letters do not • create another word that could mean that the • student does not know the answer to the Q. • rat cat • mesohyl mesophyll Cnidarian Plants

  14. Words students frequently spell incorrectly Animalia rhynchocoel Arthropoda Scaphopoda Chondrichthyes schizocoely cilia scyphistoma cord Scyphozoa mesenchyme seminal (not Seminole!) notochord sinistral Opisthosoma spongocoel Osteichthyes symmetrical proboscis typhlosole

  15. Back Sink and Aquaria 41, 42 Student ‘flow’ around 1070 49, 50 1,2 Side sink Computers Podium

  16. Exam Logistics Sign your sheet as soon as you get it. - this gives us permission to post your grade - give the last 4 digits of your student # Fill out the top part to prevent confusion - your name, TA's name and your section & exam session #s Fold your answer sheet in half lengthwise - keep the blank side facing youto act as a cover sheet. - open it only when you need to write on it. Circlethe 3 numbers of the questions of the station where you begin. -Add the # of the first question to the box on the blank side.

  17. Scrap Paper - Your answer sheet can be used as to make notes Read each question - Be careful and give exact answers e.g. Do not give CLASS if the question asks for PHYLUM. Write legiblyor you risk losing points Do not give several answers only the first one will be graded (graders discretion). Multiple choice questions When there is more than 1 correct answer give all of them to get the point/credit. Partial credit is never given for lettered responses, but it MAY be given for multiple word answers. (graders discretion) REASON = equity with across different exam versions…..

  18. Exam Logistics Contd. Hats Take off or wear them backwards please. Don’t touch! Microscopes - adjust only ocular or focal distance Specimens in jars - gently pick up jars to take a closer look, no shaking! Dissections Don’t move any of the pins or pointers. Oops! If you do think that you accidentally moved a pointer or a pin, raise your hand and tell a proctor/TA immediately.

  19. Exam Logistics contd. Staring Up or down - just not at your neighbor’s paper!This will be considered cheating! No talking Questions?- Raise your hand so the TA can come to you - don't wait until there are only 5 seconds left at the station. No sign language This is still cheating – just in silent mode!

  20. End of the Exam… Step backfrom your response sheet. A proctor will collect it. Initial against your name on the sign up sheet as you exit the room. Exit quietlyDO NOT talk about the questions after you leave. If you are caught talking to any candidate waiting to take the exam we will assume that you are discussing it. Sharing such information will be considered cheating, (attempted or accessory) and will be treated accordingly. Assuming that you are giving correct answers or clues,….all you are doing is raising the average grade and ruining the exam for those scoring below the elevated average. This Gradeswill be posted (bulletin board outside CON239) ASAP

  21. KINGDOM ANIMALIA • PhylumPorifera • PhylumCnidaria • PhylumPlatyhelminthes • PhylumNemertina • PhylumNematoda • PhylumRotifera • PhylumAnnelida • PhylumArthropoda • PhylumMollusca • PhylumBryozoa • PhylumEchinodermata • PhylumChordata • KINGDOM PROTISTA 1st half …. Worms, worms & more worms! 2nd half…. Thankfully a little more familiar!

  22. Comparison ?’s A.How many of the following organisms are Deuterostomes? B. Give the Letter(s) of all organism(s) with incomplete digestive systems. C. How many phyla/classes are represented here? Read Q’s carefully Compare traits and group Phyla when studying!!!

  23. Quick Review • Diploblastic - 2 Cell Layers PhylumCnidaria • Triploblastic- 3 Cell Layers PhylumPlatyhelminthes onward…

  24. Level of Organization Acellular Cellular Unicellular or Multicellular Tissue Organ What level of organization do we see in Kingdom Protista?

  25. Level of Body Organization Cell(multi) - PhylumPorifera (unicellular) - Kingdom Protista Tissue- PhylumCnidaria Organ - PhylumPlatyhelminthesonward…

  26. Symmetry RadialWhere do we first see this? Bilateral And this? Pentaradial And this?

  27. Symmetry RadialPhylumCnidaria BilateralPhylumPlatyhelminthes onward… PentaradialPhylumEchinodermata except ………Holothuroidea which are secondarily bilaterally symmetrical

  28. Digestive Systems Incomplete (No anus) Can you name 2 phyla? Complete (Have an anus) Can you name 2 phyla?

  29. Digestive Systems Incomplete (No anus) PhylumCnidaria PhylumPlatyhelminthes Complete (Have an anus) PhylumNemertina onward… (no anus in C. Ophiuroidea!)

  30. Body Cavity Acoelomates2 phyla Phylum Platyhelminthes Phylum Nemertina Pseudocoelomates2 phyla Phylum Nematoda Phylum Rotifera (Eu)Coelomates6 phlya Phylum Annelida Phylum Arthropoda Phylum Mollusca Phylum Bryozoa Phylum Echinodermata Phylum Chordata

  31. Coelom Development Schizocoelous (BAAM) PhylumBryozoaPhylumAnnelida PhylumArthropoda PhylumMollusca Enterocoelous PhylumEchinodermata PhylumChordata Endoderm, Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Coelom

  32. Protostomes(4 Some lit. includes Platyhelminthes & psuedocoelomates but we shall begin protostomes at eucoelomates for the purposes of this course. Protostomes, and Spiral cleavage, Schizocoelous, Determinate B “PaSSeDit!” (BAAM) APhylum Bryozoa MPhylum Annelida Phylum Arthropoda Phylum Mollusca

  33. Deuterostomes(2 Phyla) Radial cleavage, Enterocoelous Deuterostomes, Indeterminate “REDI” for anything! C PhylumEchinodermata PhylumChordata

  34. Study Ideas Make lists of structures for common purposes, and learn which organisms posses which them: e.g. Book lungs, book gills, trachea, spiracles papulae, lungs & gills. e.g. Malpighian tubules, renette glands, protonephridia, lames cells/bulbs etc…. e.g. Statoblasts, gemmules, cryptobiotic eggs

  35. Be able to define/recognizethe best definition for these terms & identify organisms that illustrate them: • Cephalization Metamerizism • Tagmatization Homology • Serial Homology Polymorphism • Torsion Detorsion • Ecdysis Syncytial This list is not exhaustive….add to it yourself!

  36. Memory tip! • Learn the exceptions to the rules, the oddities (I love to test on those!) Make sure you understand why they are tricky though Fire coral is NOT a coral….it has a medusa Turbellaria is the only free-living class in Platyhelminthes; other two are parasitic Ophiuroidea - no anus, tube feet plated & not for locomotion Holothuroidea - secondary bilateral symmetry
