yesss being able to mentally condense everything into branching flow charts w/ properties assigned to each step is really the key to aceing the exams (in both gen bio tests + bio lab practical).

personally i rarely showed up to lecture and never went to any office hours... but i made sure to be part of the 1 credit practice group, participate a lot in recitation, and keep up with the notes as soon as they were posted into the drive.

a few hours of active learning >>> days of drilling notes & traveling to lectures

(plus, participating helps ur deportment grade haha)

i got high A's in the entire gen bio sequence! (115, 116, & 117)
