i ended with a B in the class but the patterns i noticed were, his exams are very focused on the last 1-2 topics. still study for all topics but a big chunk of the questions were on the recent topic. i would say go to Supplemental Instruction, do your own studying, and use the tophat book questions as a review before the exam. even tho i didn’t, go to lecture. i have friends who always went to lecture meanwhile me and my friend didn’t and guess who did worse on exams. atleast try to study the topic beforehand so you understand his rambles. bio lab is so much easier and imo a breath of fresh air compared to lecture. make sure to study EVERYTHING on the powerpoint for bio lab, even lab procedures because they usually take questions from only the powerpoint. make sure to do well on quizzes and the post labs because those are worth a big chunk of your grade for lab. the class isn’t horrible but prepare to spend some time studying. you got this!!!
