The Biology Keystone Exam is one portion of Pennsylvania’s new system of high school graduation requirements, which will also be assessing students in algebra and English literature. The Keystone Exam will be given in place of a final exam for this course. Computers: We will be using these on a fairly regular basis in this class, as even our class textbook will be online. The expectation is that you will have your laptop with you EVERY day and that it will be turned on when you arrive to class so that we don’t waste time waiting for computers to power on during class time. Please make sure that your laptop is charged each evening so that it will remain functional without a power source throughout the school day.
