Make sure to listen in class and ask questions when you don't understand something because content from previous units will carry over. Make sure to study really hard for Unit 1 test even though it's not hard because if you get a good score it acts as a buffer for your other tests that won't go so well (ahem unit 3).

For Mr. Baker's AP Biology class I'd recommend not procrastinating on reading guides and reading the chapter needing to be covered ahead of time so the lectures in class help cement the information into your head.

Mr. Baker is a really good teacher. Though the class is primarily lecture-based, he knows how to make the topics fun. He is also very understanding in terms of grading and often curves exams and sometimes even allows retakes.
