Tips: It’s all about practice and repetition. Read textbook after lecture and take
notes. If you read and understand the same material over 3 times (lecture notes,
textbook, SI worksheets, masterbiology ?s), you’ll most likely remember it. Focus on
biology as it’ll be your hardest class; at least, put some work in it daily.
