Thanks so much for the advice. I use Cornell for notes taking but sometimes I don't have time to get it just as I need and I find I am so busy perfecting my notes that I forget to study them. My Prof. uses PP but he is all over the place. I never know which slide he is using. He will start with one and then say not that one. *worst teacher ever*. We had our first test and I did good. I got a 54/60. Our second test is next Thursday on Genetics. I am studying hard but not retaining very much. I use the color markers as well. I need things to pop out at me. I spend about 4 hrs a day studying for this class. Maybe I need to do more.

Thank you Sand Dollar. I am having a little trouble this first few weeks. We had our first quiz and I think I did fine but now I am struggling with my note taking skills. They sucks to say the least. We are on chapter 4 (genes and Genetic diseases). I don't know why, but my notes seems to be all over the place. I have re-wrote them three time now and still no order. Can you help? Thanks for the advice about highlighting. I am going to try that. I hope to get in the nursing program by fall next year. I am studying BSN.

I am new here and this will be my first post. I am taking this class now and was doing some searching for some help on the web and came across this site. We are using the same book and yet it is a big book. We are having our first quiz on Tuesday. I am a little nervous but i know I will be fine. Thanks for the links to the lecture. My professor is a very old man and it take him a long time to say two words. This makes it very hard to keep up with his lecture. I hope we can help each other as we tackle this class this semester.
