Extra Credit Blog

In your blog please give me some feedback on last semester

What topics really confused you?


The topics that really confuse me are plants. I believe this is due to lack of background information from when I was a freshman in biology.
What topics do you feel very clear on?
Topics such as ecology and cells are easier for me since I had a foundation on which I can draw some information from, or what you would call a coat hanger.
What lab/ activity was your favorite? Why?
My favorite lab would be the osmosis and diffusion labs because my group was in charge of it. Although we did not execute the lab as well as I had hoped, I grasped the concept of water potential because of this lab. Being in charge of this lab could have been why I learned the concept better.
What lab/activity was your least favorite? Why?
My least favorite lab was the lab we did on bacteria lab because there were no gloves and we were handling bacteria.
If you could change something about the class to make it better, for instance the type of homework (not the amount) what would it be and why?
I actually don't think we need a change for the type of homework. I believe the class was stressing out because they were just transitioning into your class because in all my experiences with teachers, I never had to do online work. I understand that the concept sheet, adult signature, and blogs cover the same topic for us to have another review so we will understand the concept better. With now a semester under our belts, I believe the class will be fine and keep up with the work.
