Format & Method

For each chapter, collaborative work between the three bilingual biology classes will be performed.
Generation of a series of questions and answers will be made by the students. The goal is not only to generate a condensed version of the book but more importantly to bring other relevant elements.
Indicate the references if informations come from other sources.
Indicate your first name in front of what you’re writing so the others know who wrote what.
Work at home… no choice this year… I’ll be checking quite often. :-)

As you can see, there is a multi-level procedure:

• reading of the book chapter by chapter
• generation of questions
• answering the questions
• and down the road, the semester oral exam
