HOW TO STUDY
Anatomy & Physiology- Daily Preparation
1. Notebook:
All students must have a notebook. This notebook will be used for class notes. We will be covering 8 units so please have 1 divider per unit.
This notebook will complement the textbook and specific internet resources to comprise the primary study material for this course.
Keep an ACTIVE notebook! Don't be afraid of annotating. (Drawing arrows, underlining, scratching things out, etc.)
2. Reading:
Sorting through the concepts of biology requires a lot of reading and thinking about what you read. YOU MAY NEED TO READ THE MATERIAL
QUITE A FEW TIMES before it begins to make sense.
Test preparation is like preparing for a sporting competition. It takes practice, practice, practice! 30 minutes of reviewing every day. Make sure you
UNDERSTAND the material. If you are having a hard time understanding the material, tell me!
3. Homework Assignments:
Homework can introduce new material or it will reinforce
material already covered. Outside preparation for this course is ESSENTIAL for success.
Spend at least 30 minutes on science EACH NIGHT, even if nothing is assigned.
Homework may be assigned daily and may be subject to peer review. Homework is an effort-based grade and is considered LATE if it is not handed
in when the teacher checks/collects it during class.· To receive 100% credit........work is completed in full with a high level of effort, and handed in
on time.
·
· If you are absent the day homework is due, you are expected to submit homework the following class day.
BEST SUGGESTION: Do not get behind. Review the material EACH NIGHT. Read over your notebook, notes and course material every day.
Always think through the assignments and turn them in on time.
4. Quizzes and Tests-See Welcome Letter!
No tests or quizzes are curved in the Honors class.
Quizzes can be announced or unannounced. Exams will always be announced in advance.
HELP
All students are welcome to extra help. Intervention period is time set aside each day for student to receive extra help. Please make an appointment.
Final Thoughts...
I will give you 100%, however, ultimately, you are responsible for your own learning. It is important that you take notes, complete your work and study for quizzes and tests. In most cases, your grade is a reflection of the amount of time you put into the class.
