Studying for Bio
Quoted the following from Jun Jie on 07S7E's blog
actually, for bio i seriously think the best way to study is to make own notes, and i mean notes, not plain copying. try to summarise the notes as much as possible, and in the meantime try to fully understand them. then... after some time, the stuff that you are familiar enough can be left out, so your notes get lesser and lesser over time, and this greatly reduces the effort required if u need to study that topic again.
honestly speaking, i am very happy for those who decided to make their own notes instead of using mine. as the old saying goes... give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself forever. jiayou for your efforts!! and don't just make notes for the sake of tests or exams, make them a part of your learning!! and i also realised, not everyone has the same learning style, so by making your own notes you can benefit fully from them. keep up the good work!! =)
but seriously, dont be afraid to ask questions, especially if u really dont understand something. better correct the mistake now than to learn the wrong things. and seriously, dont be afraid to hold me back if u need help.... im more than happy to help out... dont force urself to study alone if u really cant understand or have problems understanding PS. Think I will revert to my hand-written notes for now. I can compile the soft copy one later. Good luck to everyone for Bio and any other subjects
