Need a little help?

Listed below are some helpful ideas for your success in Biology or Anatomy

1. Take good notes!

2. Finish all assignments completely, and turn them in on time.

3. Don't wait until the last minute to start studying for a test. Especially for the Anatomy tests - it helps to review your notes several times throughout the week instead of the night before. Otherwise you may feel overwhelmed.

4. Come to class prepared- books, notes, folders, pen/pencil.

5. If you have homework, use your agenda to keep track.

6. If you don't understand something, come talk to me. I don't bite!
