This was assigned in my Cancer biology class that serves both undergraduates and graduate students. I assigned this as a review as we were moving into the end of the semester. The students were able to use this to make certain that they understood all of the terms that we were using in the class. In addition, it has some critical thinking questions that the students were able to use to work on those skills. I motified it slightly because I did not spend a lot of time on iniation/promotion/progression in this year's class. I found it to be a nice capstone review for the commulative final exam.

This assignment is definitely designed for upper level high school or college students. As a HS freshman bio teacher, I could pick parts of this to use in my class. It could be used as a pre-assessment to see what students already know or as review at the end of a unit.
