Hi there! I'm almost done with my pre-reques, and I wanted some feedback on how to improve my brute force memorization skills.
I've discovered that I'm more of a logic reasoner than a memorizer -- I love chemistry and did very well in orgo and gen chem, even calc and physics. However, I'm not good at just plain memorization...
I did fine in the intro Bio sequence, but this semester I took an upper level bio class where we have to know a bunch of molecular pathways and names and stuff that I couldn't really reason through. There was a ton of material taught in a short amount of time as well. Ended up with my first B in college, and while I'm not concerned about this particular grade, I'm a bit nervous about my future upper level bio classes.
What kinds of things would you recommend for bio? Have not been a big fan of flash cards and things like that, but now I feel I should get used to them.
