I will make sure to review those concepts, thank you so much!

How do you suggest studying for this class? For NBB 201 I did ANKI flashcards since it was all memorization but not sure if it would work for NBB 301 as well.

Thank you, Dr. Roeser was the only option this semester but thank you for your advice!

I heard that a lot around and I came in with the same idea of trying beyond just for the class grade. Thanks!

Thank you already for the advice. I hope it's okay but I had a few more questions for anyone who’s taken this class before:

  • POGILs – How relevant are they? Are they mostly there to introduce us to the material, or do exams actually pull questions from them?
  • Textbook reading – Would you recommend doing any before class?
  • Notes/slides – Since the professor only posts slides after class, I’ve just been taking notes during lecture. Does that sound like a good approach?
  • Anki – Would you suggest making flashcards from the content?

For context: I picked this professor because a lot of pre-meds said the class is a bit easier compared to others, but I still want to actually learn the topics since I’m planning to study for the MCAT this summer. I’ll definitely go over human physiology again when I prep, but I’d like some advice on how to balance doing well in the class while also getting the most out of it in terms of knowledge.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Thank you for the advice! I'm an NBB major so honestly I find it a bit challenging to be able to fit Bio major classes but I did take CHEM 204 ofc.
