Abstract:The course of general zoology is a basic professional course for biology majors. As a part of the teaching reform project, the author conducted a midterm examination of the general zoology course. In order to understand the students' usual learning attitude and learning methods, as well as some information about the midterm exam, the author conducted a survey on the students majoring in animal science in 2019 through the Star questionnaire. The results show that most students' learning methods were not particularly ideal for various reasons, and many of them had not formed a correct learning attitude and did not actively prepare for the midterm exam. This requires the leader of the college take a variety of effective measures to improve students' recognition of the major. At the same time, teachers should also strengthen the process assessment by using the Learning APP on the basis of the midterm examination to stimulate students' interest in learning.
