For anyone who has had Evans/Quinn for this course, do you have any tips for the exam? In particular:

1) What would you recommend focusing on for studying since there is a lot of material?
2) Did you find doing the readings helpful?
3) Will specific dates/fossil names be tested?
4) Any additional tips?

Any help at all is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

no specific dates, yes reading help (not how humans evolved), go over slides properly too.

Just an FYI but Quinn makes his exam from an online biology quizbank. Evans was just brutal but it doesn't matter if you can take 70/100 for sure from Quinn's section.

How do we prepare for the exam though ? Cuz I dont know what to focus on :( and what online quizbank are u talking about ?

wtf...you prepare by reading the book/slides.

no need to be a jerk .... Obviously I know that. I meant by what content should I be focused on.

All of it.

Seriously, you're not going to get a better answer than that, unless your profs are willing to get more specific.

Focus on the stuff after midterm 2 and the newer prof's stuff, because his part will be almost 70% of the exam, if I remember, almost half of the exam was on stuff that we weren't tested on, so I'd focus on that especially, and then just briefly overview the stuff before test 2 from the new prof.

The old prof will have about 35 mc questions, so a general overview of what his stuff was about should be good enough.

But definitely focus on the newer prof's material, especially on stuff you haven't been tested on after test 2. Good luck!

Its a lot to do with the content from the slides cover that first and only if you need help in that, read the book. Atleast that's what I did. And also there isn't anything great from HHE other than the slides and that too barely any questions that are fossil or date specific. Its more to do with the general idea of HHE
