Title: Advice - unit 2 biology --> 3&4
Post by: Jethro on August 28, 2008, 05:07:41 pm

Hello, currently I am doing biology unit 2. But, I fear that I have lost interest in it. Unit 2 seems to have changed slowly to environmental science and psychology and losing its 'biologyness'. What should I do? Should I focus, more on unit 3 and 4 because I am more into that, and I want to get ahead.

unit 3 and 4 are way better. check out the syllabus, and if you think you'll find the topics interesting, do it.

If getting ahead on 3&4 means you'll be awesomely productive, then by all means do it.

I lost a bit of interest during unit 2 as well. Don't completely chuck it out the door though, i.e. fail.

You can try getting ahead on Unit 3 but i would recommend not doing Unit 4 yet because by the time you get loaded with evolutionary theory everything else sort of gets pushed back (in my experience).

If you start preparing for Units 3 and 4 now, you'll be a gun by the time you do it next year! :D

Unit 1 or 2 material is not really required to do Units 3 and 4, anyway.

I completely agree! Unit one is fantastic and relevant to U3&4, Unit two on the other hand extremely uninteresting. The only good part was the excursion to the zoo and bay cruise :)

I wish I did more prep work for Unit ¾ so it wasn’t so much to remember.
