Microbiology study sites/methods

Does anyone have a favorite site they use to study for micro? Mnemonics, flash cards, videos, etc? Or your favorite way to study the material? Class average for our first exam was a 69; I got an 82, so significantly better than most of the class, but I really need to do better than that going forward.

Good day:

For now, I've been using the book and quizlet plus videos the professor provides -- I take notes on the book and the videos. If there's an area the book doesn't cover well, I'll just google to find a site that expands on the particular area. I'll also create my own tables and charts based on what I've been reading and ask the professor as well as fellow students if I missed anything. I'll find out how well that works this coming Wednesday.

I've attached two such charts I've created to help with studying if the idea of creating your own helps you.

Thank you.

82 is very good! My midterm is in two weeks . I usually create a chart, write notes from the powerpoint and memorize them. I use youtube a lot too

I honestly read the chapters over and over! I got an 81% on mine, test average was 73%, so I think it helped some. I honestly read some of the questions too quickly and one of them was a compare/contrast and well...I forgot the contrast part:down: oh well I guess! But I noticed after I took the test, anything my professor writes on the board or does a "discussion" with the class, it'll be on there! So now I know what to focus on more. Good luck!
