This course provides graduating seniors the opportunity to assess their knowledge of biology, and to assess the effectiveness of the biology program. Instead of regular class meetings, students will take a comprehensive exam, which will assess five major areas: cell biology, molecular biology & genetics, organismal biology, ecology & evolution, and analytical reasoning. The senior assessment also allows students to provide feedback concerning their individual learning experiences. Senior Evaluation must be taken before spring break of a student's graduating year. The course is graded pass/fail - satisfactory completion of the exam, regardless of score, is required for a passing grade.
