Taking Biology 230 this semester has taught me about both the importance in life and my career goals. I would like to thank all three instructors for taking the time to not only teach us different aspects of biology, but also pushing individuals to think like biologists and work together as a team. Biology is one of the hardest subjects to study and I could not have done it without them and the help from my colleagues. As I began to adapt to this course, I have started to notice the things that did and did not improve my study. Some techniques that helped me to achieve my studying skills were the numerous case studies that are assigned weekly. Case studies are crucially beneficial to students because we have to search for the answer. Whether the journals I submit are correct or incorrect, I am still able to obtain in depth knowledge about a certain subject. I have also learned to use PubMed and Google Scholar that I have rarely used throughout the three years I have been in this university. Although I have learned many methods to help me study that has been provided, I also have come to some disagreements that have not suited me well. I believe it is best for the class to not only use online sources and the help from others, but to also require the use textbooks. Depending on a student’s motivation to study to an extent, I first thought relying on class notes, slides, and online sources would fulfill my needs to achieve a good grade. But after the second exam, I started to rely more towards the textbook and successfully achieved the grade I yearned for. In addition, I do not believe having a discussion during lecture is not efficient yet is beneficial during lab. Because there are many students during lecture, it is hard to follow through with what individual students have to say. Instead, the lectures should be provided with a concise and clear format and voices
