<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The following information will be given as a pre assessment and post assessment in the Biology course. The unit that is going to be taught is on photosynthesis, mitosis, cell division, and meiosis. Each question will be worth 1 point for a total of 10 points possible. Also throughout the unit the professor is going to insert 2-3 questions related to content that needs to be learned in her lecture slides, and use SMART response during classes to assess student performance and understand.
