Additionally, "Question your Instructor" open-response items are found at the end of each SimBio Interactive Chapter in SimUText Ecology. Student responses to these questions can provide you with insight into areas with which your students may be having difficulty. The SimUText system excludes these questions from Feedback and Graded Question counts and scores.
