Class of 2021
I didn't do well in freshman bio because I never did any of the work. She doesn't assign official homework other than just completing the occasional lab reports we start in class. She says to read around fifteen minutes of the textbook every night; I STRONGLY RECOMMEND. I didn't do this and ended up not doing super well in the class, but the one chapter that I did do that for, I ended up doing really well on the test. Just read a bit per night to reinforce the material you go over in class and you will do semi well at least in the class. It is hard, but not a lot of work to do well. Oh, and don't let the first quiz deceive you. It's completely different from the tests for the rest of the year. If she doesn't call it a quiz though then that means she stopped doing that quiz.
