Hi all,
I am currently taking BIO 1500 (which is my school's version of Plant + Animal Diversity), and I really like some honest answers here!
I know this is a horrible thing to do, but as I have been studying for Biology, I started to question "how" exactly I have been studying, and even have gone to the extent to think of how studying in medical school is like.
I find the only real way the information sticks with me is for me to write it down and think about it as I am writing, rather than simply reading it. Sometimes I get anxious studying this way, as I feel I won't "survive" in med school if I have to resort to writing things down in order to remember them. For one, I can't seem to remember something as well if I just read it.
Is this a bad thing? Is it normal to write while trying to memorize? Is it normal for your hand to hurt after long Bio sessions? Lol, I am kind of hysterical in thinking about this, but it has been bothering me!
Anyways, how do you guys study for BIO classes with heavy memorization? Mind you, this method HAS been working for me (scoring 90's on all my tests), and I really don't want to mess with it, but it has me thinking, am I studying the right way?
Thanks in advance! You guys are always great!
