- Attend lectures
No, watching the recordings on Blackboard is not the same
- Take notes during lectures!
It really will help you retain more of what you learn in lecture, and you will have a better idea of what material will be covered on the tests, and what the questions will be like
- Read the assigned chapters
There are too many reasons why this is a good idea…
- Take notes while you read!!
Two main benefits: 1) You'll actually absorb what you're reading; 2) You won't have to go back and read the book ever again, because you can just read your notes instead!
- Do the MasteringGenetics practice problems
These problems are specifically chosen by the professors to help you understand the material and to prepare you for the exams. Also, doing practice problems is really the only way to be sure you understand, and can apply, what you've learned.
- Go to recitation sessions and office hours
As a recitation TA, my whole job is to help you learn the material and to help you succeed in this course. I really love teaching, and I'm happy to help you in any way I can. Working through problems and reviewing important concepts together is a great way to learn, and is often more efficient than learning by yourself from a book.
