Strategies for Success in Honors Biology Most students will need to evaluate their study habits. If what you are doing is not working sufficiently… then try something new. There are methods to work smarter as well as harder.

Strategies for Success in Honors Biology set consistent, structured study patterns active study techniques preparing before the lecture topic review a portion of the chapter daily Study early for tests and sleep more.

Strategies for Success in Honors Biology Students are given a “Biology Important Stuff” packet containing several items including advice on reading a textbook with the SQ3R method and Cornell Note-taking.

Strategies for Success in Honors Biology Dartmouth College study skills website. This is a comprehensive site with resources covering reading, note taking, listening, studying, motivation, and memory.

Specific Recommendations: Divide the material into manageable portions. Work on biology daily. Some possible activities include…. –Read before a lecture topic –Look at the PowerPoint slides –Outline notes from slides –Make vocabulary cards –Review notes from class –Compare class notes to slides –Draw to illustrate concepts Spread test preparation out over several nights. Stay organized.
