Plant Propagation

Course Schedule - Week 13

We'll spend today reviewing the topics we've covered since the second exam including grafting and budding, layering, and the propagation of geophytic plants in preparation for the third exam of the semester coming up on Wednesday.

Third Exam!

Content covered will primarily include all assigned readings, videos, and web resources, in-class discussions and problem-solving exercises covered since the second exam. Again, however, don't be too surprised if I go back to a point much earlier semester in order to reinforce your efforts to tie all concepts together as you work toward a thorough competency in propagating plants.

The format for the exam will be similar to the first two exams and daily quizzes.

As with the first two exams and quizzes, I will scan the exams and return them to you at the beginning of this Friday's lab session. You will then grade your own exams by referring to the third exam grading rubric and review video in preparation for a one-on-one exam review with me during the last lab session of the semester on Friday, April 24th.

You have worked with a number of different plants and structures during these lab exercises. Therefore, there will - hopefully - be a lot of data to collect, observations to make, pictures to take, questions to ask, etc.

Looking ahead to Monday's class, make sure to complete the assigned Chapter 17 - "Principles and Techniques of Micropropagation from Meristematic Tissue (Axillary Shoot Proliferation)" readings and watch the related video lectures.

Oh . . . . , I almost forgot!

Before you leave make sure that I've returned your ungraded Exam #3! While we'll meet to discuss your effort during the last lab session of the semester on Friday, April 24th, I strongly recommend you review and grade your effort as soon as possible so that your reasoning for the answers you provided are still fresh in your memory.
