Biology 151

    My professors for biology 151 is McClung and Foster. They both have different subjects in biology that they are passionate about. McClung throughly enjoys the anotomy and physiology of cells. He could talk about the componets that make up different cells parts for hours on end. On the other hand, Foster loves ecology. She loves how members of a community work with each other and give ecosystems their characteristics. We started off the first unit of biology learning about ecology, trophic levels, biomes, hiearchy of life and populations. I have been over all these subjects before but not to this extent so I didn't know what to expect exactly. A couple concepts really had me worried one of which is the nitrogen cycle. Other things I was worried about was the characteristics of all the biomes. Not only did I need to memorize these characteristics I also needed to apply this knowledge to answer questions.
  Being my first exam I started studying a week in advance of the test. I started my studying by going over some, what I belivied to be, key terms. I didn't know where to focus my attention so I focused on basically everything that was ever said during class or read from the text book. This was a night and day approach compared to high school which I could just drift by and not worry because the teacher would always have to slow down for the less well-versed in biology students, if you will. Its hard accepting that I am not one of the most naturally intelligent people in the room, but I have learned one thing through my studies in the short time I have been at college, hard work does go noticed. After numerous hours of studying I recieved exactly what I wanted and the was an A at ninety-six percent.
