Living the Scientific Method
Hypothesis: Take homes are ALWAYS harder than in class tests.
Procedure: In my discussions with classmates about our upcoming take home test, I gave an example of the kind of question we'd face. I'll spare you an explanation, but I said it would be something like, describe from start to finish what happens inside a cell to create a protein, in comparison to a question like what part of the cell is responsible for transporting proteins.
Results: Question 1 on my take home exam?
We talked about how parts of the cell work together for particular tasks. Follow the production of casein, a milk protein, from its beginning till it is released as part of milk.
Conclusion: I should get an A on the test just for being able to predict the questions.
