The test drill or exercise pages listed immediately below were developed for the Botany 201 exam sequence (3 hour exams).  They will be revised soon but, for now, keep in mind that questions present on these pages are not fully concordant with our current lecture/exam schedule (four hour exams).  Families of the Dilleniidae are, for instance, present on the 'Exam III' page below but this subclass will be covered by Exam II this fall.

These pages provide some exposure to the type of testing that you will encounter this semester.  They can be used as a self test to determine your level of preparation for a given exam.  Simply move through the file and, when finished, 'submit' (bottom of page) your responses.  Your work will be graded and the results displayed.  You can also continue with the exercise by trying again for those questions answered incorrectly.
 

Our work with the Botany 301 'exam drill' system is based on source files obtained in 1995 from what was then the 'Interactive Exam project' (Richard Roy) at the University of Connecticut Library and is now an element of their Virtual Classroom.   These were modified by Erich Schneider at the Texas A&M Center for the Study of Digital Libraries (CSDL) to allow placement of files produced by Dr. Wilson at the local (CSDL) server.

These are examples of the type of exams (and questions) that you will encounter this semester.  They are HTML conversion's of exams 1 through 3 from the Spring Semester of 1995.  You also have prior exams (Fall, 1998) available on reserve in Evans Library. Note that content coverage of prior exams, based on Botany 201, differs from the current (Fall, 1999) Botany 301 exam sequence.  The answers, and some discussion of possible responses, are provided for exams 1 and 2 of this series.
 

This semester's exams will contain some questions that are identical to those present in the files above, some that are slightly different, some that are reversed or otherwise 'contorted', and some that are not present here.
