If you don't understand something, you should ask the teacher during lunch. Do the notes when he assigns them; there will be a quiz on the notes, usually the next time you see him. Pay attention to the lectures; sometimes he says things that aren't in the textbook but are in the test. If all else fails, watch the Amoeba sisters' biology videos on YouTube.

Mr. Saikin is awesome! He's better than ALL the other Biology teachers. If you don't like teachers who tease you then you may not like him. If you like funny teachers, you'll LOVE him.
