Welcome to Mr. Lee's Biology Class

Be an active learner in class.

Many students labor under the false impression that just BEING THERE in class is an achievement-----perhaps even enough to be successful. Do not sit passively in class, deluding yourself that you are fulfulling your obligation by taking good notes. Now, don't get me wrong; taking good notes can be useful, and your notes may certainly help you when studying. Think critically when you're in class; ask questions and put your thoughts into words! My most successful students are always the ones who jump right in and ask tons of questions.

Be an active learner outside of class.

Try a variety of techniques to make the subject "yours." You might look for someone willing to play the role of student to whom you can explain a particular subject. There is no better way to find your weak spots than to attempt teaching someone else. Find students with whom you are compatible, and form a study group. Each member should have something positive to contribute. You can quiz each other and work together in creating summary charts and other aids.
