Thread for Exam 2 questions
Here is a place for you to ask questions related to content for the second exam. I'll be checking this frequently and answering questions. If you know the answer to a question that's been asked, feel free to respond. This is a great test of your preparedness for the exam if you can answer without your notes.

Welcome to Comparative Animal Behavior!
Hello CABbers!
Welcome to the CAB Spring 2018 Section A class blog! This blog will serve as an open forum for you to ask and answer questions about material from class and to engage in thoughtful discussion with your peers. This is also where you will post your muddy points on the required days.
As we'll talk about in class and according to your syllabus, each time you have a reading from your textbook, you are required to reflect on that reading before class. I call these thoughts "muddy points" because they relate to things that you find murky as you read. They're things you'd like clarified or that you want to spend more time on. Maybe you found a particular example or subtopic in the reading to be particularly interesting and you want to talk about it more. Maybe something was really confusing and you'd like it explained a different way. This assignment is meant to let me know these things. For each Perspectives of Animal Behavior textbook reading, you will submit a list of three muddy points (i.e. your questions or comments on the reading). You should post these points in the thread associated with the topic of the reading. These muddy points are due at least 24 hours prior to the class session we will be discussing the associated topic.
In addition to a platform for muddy points, I hope that you will use this blog as a resource throughout the semester. I'll be posting links to recent popular press stories that I think are cool. It is also my hope that this blog will be a particularly useful tool for studying for exams. You can pose questions to me or your peers on here and/or use it as an online study group platform. Finally, I hope this blog will invite fun discussions about really interesting topics in animal behavior!
Everyone will be listed as an author on the blog, and you may either use your Google account that is managed by UNE to participate or create an account on Blogger. If you use a Blogger account, please make sure that you create a username that allows me to know who you are so that I can assign you credit for participating. Remember that everyone in the class will be able to see what you write, so be please be mindful of others as you contribute to discussions.
Feel free to e-mail me (tdzieweczynski@une.edu) if you have any questions.
I look forward to having you in class, teaching you and learning from you this semester.
