it's up to you....

It’s up to you…

Throughout this course you, the student, need to take charge of your own learning. As a college-level student, it's up to you to make the most of the biology course - to prepare yourself for the exam, to complete the laboratory requirements and to enjoy yourself as you become a life-long learner of biology.

You need to:

Direct your own learning
Keep your notes, handouts, labs, quizzes etc organized
Ask for help and come in for tutoring when needed
Be prepared for class and be an active learner!

Together we will be successful!
