Easy to learn and follow. Memorize definitions, especially if you don't know what they mean, they help in biology where there are various terms playing key roles in descriptions of cycles and processes. Know how to apply information to life situations. rather than strictly memorizing everything. Keep the booklets/notebooks to study from, there's a lot of information for one year. If something is hard to remember, drawing a picture that corresponds to the topic is very beneficial. If you want to be extra, rewrite key parts of the notes on a piece of loose-leaf paper.

Prepare to have a new favourite teacher. Waters is an extraordinary teacher, he makes classes entertaining and interactive. He puts in actual effort to get to know/bond with his students, there hasn't been a class where we didn't laugh. He's a very positive teacher who makes sure the whole class understands the subject, even drawing and labelling a diagram, before moving on. Multiple times he's given opportunities to fix mistakes or re-write a select few things before/after school. Waters is an all around optimistic and helpful person.
