Question about Bio 201/Rio Salado

Published

I'm currently taking Bio 201 online at Rio Salado. I am getting ready to take test number 1. In the lessons plan it says to review Chapters 2 and 3 which is a recap of Bio 156. I've read the chapter twice but have no time to actually study and memorize it because I am spending all my time with the new stuff. It's been 10 years since I took Bio 156 so it's not so much review as it is relearning.

I'm sorry, I think I missed the question?

I took Bio156 through Rio and wouldn't suggest doing Biology classes through them. I took 156 so I would have a basic structure going into A&P and Micro. I think Rio is most difficult as they expect you to know EVERYTHING and test you on the smallest details plucked randomly from the book.

I missed the questions as well. If you are asking if the chapters will be on the test, the answer is yes. Everything in the syllabus and all the learning objectives from every lesson will be on the test. Rio is notorious for having complicated questions that expect you to know things really well. It wont just ask a question. It will be the most complicated form of the question. Not all the questions are hard, but a majority of them are. Also for the essays, 2 will come from ones you have written, and 2 will come from the ones you don't have to turn in, so make sure to know the concept behind all the essay questions. I have taken BIO 202 and BIO 205 through RIO and they both had ridiculous midterms and finals. If you get As on all you homework, then you can get the minimum 65 and still get a B in the class, so that's good, but if you want the A, you REALLY need to study EVERYTHING. I hate RIO for sciences, but they are the most convenient for me, and I know the format of their classes because I have taken so many through them. GL and study study study.
