Biology Study Tips

Hey guys!

I normally post general study tips, but today, and hopefully, from now on, I'll focus more on specific subjects. Today, we will start with Biology.
One of my courses now, is Biology. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and I have listed a few suggestions on how to earn a decent grade:

1. Vocabulary List

I highly suggest you start a vocabulary list from the beginning of the course. This way, you will have an easier time studying for your exam, and also, reviewing this material prior to a different course of biology.

2. Diagram List

Biology is really heavy with diagrams. Often, you are asked to recreate a diagram or explain it. In order to differentiate between them, have a diagram per flash card and its explanation on the back to quiz yourself later.

3. Flashcards

I personally don't like using flashcards for anything other than vocal and diagrams. But you could either write post-it notes or use flashcards for question and answer. Quizzing yourself will help you in the long run and will quickly determine what is it that you have to focus on the most.

4. Animations and Online Stimulations

If you are able to find a good animation or an online stimulation for the process you're learning, definitely use it. It will stimulate visual learning and I think, kinaesthetic learning as well. These types of learning styles will help you remember the information in the long run.

5. Textbooks

Textbooks are inevitably very useful in Biology. What it does, is that it creates an overall mental picture of a process because it is told in a paragraph manner. You should definitely highlight, write your own notes or use post its to reinforce information better in your brain.
