Science is a new language.
Many students find that some terms used in Biology can be cumbersome and difficult.
I recommend using flashcards to help learn these terms. Purchase some 3 x 5 index cards. You'll be surprised how much you can learn without sitting at a desk with a book in front of you. As much as we all know better, there are always classes in which we try to do all of the assigned work in the three days before an examination. In the first month, we lay down a foundation that we build on for the rest of the year.
