  • Instructions

    Here are some textbook questions from Glencoe Biology: The Dynamics of Life 2/e by Biggs et al published by Glencoe/McGraw-Hill. Click here for a list of all of the questions coded in WebAssign. This demo assignment allows many more submissions than recommended and does not show any feedback for the individual questions. Multiple choice questions are often assigned this way, only showing total assignment score, without showing the students which questions they are getting right and wrong. This often results in lots of 'biology conversations' among your students.

Assignment Submission

For this assignment, you submit answers by question parts. The number of submissions remaining for each question part only changes if you submit or change the answer.
