Many students have difficulty spelling scientific and family names for plant and animal species. An old practice for learning these names is writing them out by hand. This program mimics that old practice by:

1. prompting you by listing the vernacular (common) name for a species,
2. providing you with three fields in which you attempt to correctly spell the family, genus, and species epithet,
3. and determining the accuracy of your spelling (if you spell a name correctly, that field changes color and is marked as correct with a check mark).

The quiz administrator will update the list of species on the quiz after the conclusion of the labs each week. Therefore by the end of the semester, all species covered will be on each quiz.
