Too much information in such little time, What can I do to remember? please help 
Tips on how to pass Biology 101 this summer.?
- Thread starter Angel eyes
- Start date
Ten tips to an A:
1. Read the chapter of your book that is going to be lectured on a couple of days before.
2. Make flash cards of the highlighted/bolded vocabulary and memorize. This will serve as a good foundation for building more advanced concepts.
3. Read the chapter again the day before lecture. Take notes on things you did not remember from the first time you read it or things you do not understand.
4. Go to lecture. Take notes and be active - answer questions as opposed to sleeping. If your teacher emphasizes something, be sure to include it in your lecture notes and go back and get more information from the textbook. If your teacher shows you pictures from the textbook, be sure to write down the figure number or draw them in your notes. He/she may not emphasize everything in the textbook - that doesn't mean the additional textbook material is not important, but it's certainly not as significant as the material presented in lecture.
5. Later that day, read over the notes you took from your textbook and from your lecture.
6. The next day, or maybe two days later, SKIM through the chapter. Highlight (or, if you can't write in your textbook, underline in pencil) material you STILL do not understand.
7. Look at all figures/diagrams in the textbook and make sure you understand them and can apply them to concepts taught.
8. Go to tutorials/office hours to clear up any questions you still have. Make sure you go over any of the images/figures you still don't understand too. Write down everything you go over with your teacher in tutorials.
9. Once you have cleared everything up that you do not understand, re-write all of your notes. Combine the notes you took from the textbook the day before class with the lecture notes and the notes you took on material you don't understand in tutorials. Study these notes for the test along with your flash cards. MAKE SURE you also study the important figures! It's important!
10. The night before a test, don't stay up all night - get good sleep and have a good breakfast that morning. If your test is later in the day, eat a heavier breakfast, but if it's early in the morning, have a light breakfast.

Study, read the chapters presented in each lesson over and over.. research things you don't understand.. Watch videos that help you understand processes, look for quizzes online and quiz yourself daily!
Most Biology textbooks have a website and if you go on it you will have activities to help you study. last but not least, you gotta love BIO to be able to do GREAT! Good Luck and enjoy the amazing subject of Biology!

What I did was outline each chapter, picking out the most important stuff from each paragraph or page. That way, you learn as you go along.
Studying, though, is key. Make it fun. Make up songs to help you remember things. That's what I did and I got a B, plus I am not intimidated by Biology anymore, I like it now.
