PRE-TEST IN BOT 101

INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS IN BOT 101

Answer the following questions, do it by yourself without the help of someone. The result
will help you assess your stock knowledge in Botany. Do not worry of the result of this
pre-test. You prepare for the post test afterwards you have to read and study the lessons
diligently in this course.

Use the answer sheet provided at the end of this pre-test. You need to send the answer
sheet to my email (romeo.lerom@wpu.edu.ph) so that others will not be able to see
your answers. Everybody must follow the instruction religiously.
Thank you, stay safe and God bless!
