Study sheets are the name of the game. I would advise reading the textbook and making outlines, even when not required to by the homework. This class requires you to teach yourself a good chunk of the material. Diligence and a good work ethic is more required in this class than most others.
This teacher is a great teacher. Honors Bio is not as hard as you think. Just use your brain and pay attention in class. He barely gives hw and his tests are not as hard as you think. Just use logic.
Honors Bio was quite a difficult class - perhaps one of Schreiber's hardest. Tests are very difficult because the multiple choice questions will require "the best answer" as opposed to "the right answer. " Material is covered quickly and very in depth. Classes are almost entirely lecture based, with the occasional lab. You must be on your "A" game! I recommend making flash-cards to study for each exam. You must be able to define each term in depth.
Make sure to go above and beyond when doing homework or studying for tests. Memorize more than you think you need to, and write more than you need to for homework. He doesn't give clear guidelines for homework and takes off points, so it's better just to do more than expected. He also doesn't teach very well, so you have to do a lot of learning on your own and do lots of practice questions.
Make sure that you pay attention and make study sheets. You will need to set aside a few hours for studying. The writing portion of his tests are easy but the multiple-choice can trip you up if you don't read carefully. Purchase the Barrons review book for the SAT2 even if you are not taking the test. It is very useful and it breaks down every topic for you with diagrams and bullet points.
