Yup. That's one reason why I don't worry about the Ecology exams. If the students are paying any attention at all in class, they should already know perfectly well what the questions will be before I hand out the exams. It's not a question of whether or not you know the definitions; it's a question of whether or not you understand the concepts.

For an Anatomy class though, where the questions are more along the lines of "define homeostasis," the situation's a bit different.
