BIO 201 at Rio Salado

Published

Hey everyone,

Looking to see if anyone is currently enrolled in BIO 201 at Rio Salado. I am scheduled to start on 4/13 but was hoping to get a jump start on my studying. I have a crazy schedule because I work two jobs (one to pay for school and one to pay for my life), a husband and three kids. I need all the extra study time I can get!

Any study tips and general suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Hmmm...the final did have a lot of questions about the nervous system. I remember there was a question about the flexor and extensor of a particular movement. I don't remember which one though. Just dedicate yourself to memorizing all that you can, since the questions are usually over a little bit of everything. Cram it all in there, baby! Study up until the last minute. Oh, and read the questions carefully. Sorry I couldn't help out more. Good luck!

Thank you! I will start cramming - I did that for 3 weeks for the midterm and somehow that did not do much for me!

Oh, and I have one more tip that might help on the multiple choice portion. Try to remember, or go back, to previous questions if they talk about the same muscle, or whatever. I've noticed that sometimes one answer can clue you in to the other. That can work if it's a question where you just have no clue. Have fun! :p

You will have to let me know how you like the class. Hopefully I can get enough posts going to send you a PM. I am enrolled for Summer I. When do you plan to take BIO 202 and BIO 205?

I am in BIO 202 with Rio right now.. cramming hard core for the final. I got a 50 on the midterm (and yes, I studied),. I have gotten high A's on tests, quizzes, all lab quizzes/practicals and she seems to love my essays, gives me 100's on all of them as well. However, you must maintain a 60% average on the midterm and final, regardless of anything else. I feel like just taking the final now and failing. I cannot possibly cram anymore information into my head. I WOULD NOT recommend this class to anyone! Can anyone recommend help for the 202 Final!? I have to take it in a week :(

I am in the same boat so I know exactly how you feel . . . I also got a 50 on my midterm and am taking my final next week.
