<p>I took BISC 120 with different professors but its mostly pure memorization with some application. As long as you read the book (or slides depending on professor) and understand and memorize the material, you’ll do fine. Remember that every individual point is equal on the 1000 point scale so even if it seems small, quizzes, clicker questions, and lab stuff all have some weight on your final grade in addition to the heavily weighted exams.</p>
<p>CHEM 105 is a little different as its mostly application of formulas/problem solving with little to some memorization. </p>
<p>The webpage for the summer session of 105a (taught by Parr) is still up if you want to check out the exams (along with some other stuff) before its taken down and replaced by fall. You can save them as practice for fall.</p>
