Quiz time!

Congrats, to all of you for getting your field reports finished this week!

Next week in recitation, you have your first recitation quiz.  Content that may be on this quiz was covered in lectures 1, 2 and 3, and this week's recitation, including the assigned packet readings: Viitala et al. & Mayr and Diamond.

Need help reviewing?

• Review your notes and the autecology/evolution lecture outlines in the Packet and practice on some of the sample exam questions in the Packet (p. 170).  
• Peruse some of the links listed in my website footer, such as Evolution 101, the two textbook sites (Essentials of Ecology; Economy of Nature), and the glossary.

Quizlet

At this point, nearly all of the terms in the Packet's autecology glossary have been discussed.  I have set up a study group for my sections on Quizlet.   If you join the group, you can add flash card terms and definitions to the "Quiz 1" study set that I started for you all.  The group has other neat games to help you learn the vocabulary, such as the one below, but it is the responsibilities of you, the student, to build the study resource. (This is part of our expectations agreement.)

A word of Quizlet warning: If you do add terms to the set you are presented with the option of having the website "auto-define" for you - please make sure the definition you choose matches the one in your packet!  Same thing goes for those of you using them to study, check the definitions against your glossary the first time through.  While you all are studying this weekend, I will be grading your reports.  Therefore, I need you all to "self-police" on Quizlet, but feel free to email me if a major problem arises.

Two packet readings for next recitation: S. Pain. 2008. New Scientist. & Becker and Harris. 2010. PLoS.

Please keep in mind, many of the scientific articles in the packet may also be accessed through SAKAI, Rutgers Library Electronic Journals, or Google Scholar, so not having your packet is not an acceptable excuse for not reading!
