Last Blog of the Year

What was your favorite topic this semester? Why? - My favorite topic of this semester was the invertebrates and vertebrates chapters. I really like learning about the different animals. The fun part was the dissections, I feel that they really do help with realizing where each body part is. From there we begin to learn it's function and how the part works. What was your least favorite? -My least favorite topic of the semester was probably genetics with finding if genes were sex-linked or autosomal. I'm not great with looking at pedigrees and determining how genes were inherited. For the most part, I feel that if I did more practice problems on these I would understand the concept. As of right now, it is still my least favorite as well as the Mendelian numbers. What would you change about this class if you could? -I would change the amount of in-class tests/quizzes that you give us. I feel like it really is not enough. It's the in class tests/quizzes that prove to you whether or not we've been reviewing over the material and I feel that those should be more frequent for your next year students. What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment in biology this year? - I feel that my biggest accomplishment this year was reading and covering all the chapters that we went through. This was the first time in any science class that I covered so much content. I learned a lot from this class and I hope to carry on this knowledge later on in life~
