Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone that was successful in the bio section could say which chapters in Campbell they read. If you read the entire book you can say that too. I just feel like so many people here and myself are overwhelmed by the book. Thanks for your help!

I read and essentially memorized all the chapters. A few of the chapters you can go over in less detail and just learn the majors points ( i.e the plant chapters, the invertebrate chapters go into a bit too much detail). I would also say that the ecology chapters probably give you more information than what is required, but definetly read through them and learn most of it. It seems like a lot of information and it is. Hopefully you still remember most of the stuff from your bio classes so you dont have to spend to much time on each chapter. Good Luck!!

Someone posted this a while back: http://www.nvcc.edu/home/jchristmas/ppbio102ver7/ppbio102ver7.htm

Can anyone who has gone over Campbell in detail speak about the quality of these lectures?

I think it is going over board to read the entire book and learn it all for this test.

^ I agree. How on earth do you memorize a thousand page book? I read Cliffs and when I got to something that wasn't clear, I either read Campbell or googled it. I think it's a more effective use of my time.

or wikipedia.

Instead read the text book which is too much to remember, why don't you try the study guide of the book about 1/3 size campell ). I did that 4 year ago. It summarized all important theme of the book without discussing any experiment...... Also I don't think the test will ask you too much detail. The concepts are more important. Good luck

What I meant by read the entire book is that you are responsible for pretty much all the topics in the book. Im a biochemistry major so i didnt even bother reading the first 20 chapters or so on cell biology and genetics and focused on the later chapters on physiology and ecology. If I would of done it all over again I would of just got a review book like cliffs ap of schaums(if u already have a good background in biology).
