<p>What is a good way to study for biology? My book, online resources, visual software, and study guide are really overwhelming me, haha. I’m willing to read the book and use the other resources, but I don’t know how to go about it. Should I memorize vocab and diagrams? Should I read the chapters, do the problems, then consult the study guide? When I answer questions in the book, how many sentences should I write per question? I know it sounds weird, but I haven’t had stuff like this since my early high-school days because I’ve been taking engineering-related classes that are driven by higher-level math. Nonetheless, I really want to learn it well because it really applies to my major. Thanks for the tips.</p>
<p>I don’t know what Bio 101 is like or how your class is structured, but generally the best thing to do is read the book heavily. My Bio 150, 151, 152, and 153 classes all use the Campbell Bio book, which is quite comprehensive and helpful. I just study my book by reading the material two or three times over, and then I do the review questions after each chapter, then I occasionally take the quizzes that are offered at the Campbell website. Then I repeat the preceding as needed.</p>
