Why am I taught about molecular biology and genetics in school, then expected to forget all about Biology/Pray

Because those people are afraid that if you think about religion in a scientific manner then youll raise questions that cant be answered by religion.  \n\nA real person a faith shouldnt ask you to forget what you learned just because it might challenege their ideas.  Religion isnt perfect and neither is science.  They may or may not work together but as of right now we dont know the ultimate trusts about both subjects so its very hard to tell when they really do agree or disagree.\n\nLearn both sides and decide for yourself what is true. Don't let others make you think that blind faith in either is necessary or okay.

I have a Bio degree & totally agree. I got it 10 years ago, but am sure the load is as heavy. I definitely needed a support group!\nI had to take a couple levels of physics & chemistry as requirements & believe that all of them were hard, time consuming & draining.  \n\nHang in there, though because it'll feel awesome when you're finally done.

We did a blood test on ourselves back in 9th grade biology class! Guess they don't teach that in school anymore. LOL

Studying for biology can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. If you follow a few simple steps, studying for biology will be less stressful and more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of several helpful biology study tips for biology students. Whether you're in middle school, high school, or college, these tips are bound to produce results!\n\nBiology Study Tips\n\nBio-Study Tip 1\n\nAlways read the lecture material before the classroom lecture. I know, I know--you don't have time, but believe me, it makes an immense difference. \n\nBio-Study Tip 2\n\nBiology, like most sciences, is hands-on. Most of us learn best when we are actively participating in a "topic." So make sure to pay attention in lab sessions and actually perform the experiments. Remember, you won't be graded on your lab partner's ability to perform an experiment, but your own.\n\nBio-Study Tip 3\n\nSit in the front of the class. Simple, yet effective. College students, pay close attention. You'll need recommendations one day, so make sure your professor knows you by name and you aren't 1 face in 400.\n\nBio-Study Tip 4\n\nCompare notes with a friend. Since much of biology tends to be abstract, have a "note buddy." Each day after class compare notes with your buddy and fill in any gaps. Two heads are better than one!\n\nBio-Study Tip 5\n\nUse the "lull" period between classes to immediately review the biology notes you have just taken. \n\nBio-Study Tip 6\n\nDon't cram! As a rule, you should start studying for biology exams a minimum of two weeks prior to the exam. \n\nBio-Study Tip 7\n\nThis tip is very important -- stay awake in class. I've observed too many people snoozing (even snoring!) in the middle of class. Osmosis may work for water absorption, but it won't work when it comes time for biology exams. \n\nBio-Study Tip 8\n\nFind some useful resources to help you when you study after class. Here are a few resources that I would suggest to help make learning biology interesting and fun:

You need to regain the vision of why you are there in the first place. Perhaps the course in question is not interesting, but you are there to get your degree and this course is a "necessary evil".  As a management degree holder, that's how I made it through science classes!

help me god, more about these bio classes.

If you are in grad school perhaps you ought to be hitting the library instead of Yahoo message boards. Bio chem is a pain but not something to compromise grad school for.

maybe you should take your education into your own hands. Go to the library after school and learn what YOU want to be learning! I HATED blocked scheduling btw (90 min classes)

at the end of high school, I asked myself: "wow very wonderful all those general knowledge (sincere consideration) but ... how do I complete a cheque?"\n\n\nat the end of university (and had to look myself for it, very hard, having not much time), I asked myself "who am I?, what kind of job fits with my heart?, what do those sciences explain?, what does my degree mean?, what kind of society are we living in?, what and how can I contribute?\n\nI would have appreciated:\n\n- science phylopsophy included in the curriculum:\n\nso to warn not to narrow down the way you view the world and life; positive western sciences are rational limited explanations of how's with each one of them having its own logic and method; they do certainly not give answers on the why's and need therefore to be situated towards other disciplines like life considerations (religions, philosophies e.g.), culture, sociology, politics, ...\n\n- courses of learning to learn & of learning to search and select information & learning what you as an adult and your degree/job mean in society (which law, services, ....)\n\nI discovered in a more systematic way all that afterwards, feeling then not too much alone with my feelings and opinions while in my job\nI consider myself blessed by those discoveries and conscious of the benefits those would bring to others if they had the opportunity (time) to do them too;\nit is a hard way, the other way for fresh students, certainly in today's context of more and more liberalism, individualism and financial strains\n\n\nI must say I appreciated a lot a course of biology, while studying electromechanics, studying the human body so to understand how you can cope with stress, food, ... i.e. keep your health\n\n(and otherwise I cannot complain about my education)

I did best in biology/sciences because it interested me.  I went into a profession that uses science as a prerequisite and I love my job.  My most difficult subject was English, and I still find it difficult to write a good paper

Perhaps you didn't pay attention in class? A lot of people forget what they learn because they don't think it's important for anything.  You can always go online and review the tests.

Biology involves a lot of memorization. The best advice for\nyour college curriculum is to not narrow your options to soon.\nStudents change majors a lot. With a BS in biology you\ncan get a job in any hospital lab or a pharmaceutical lab. Then go back to college for grad school at the hospital's(or corporation's)\nexpense.

Education and your parents have failed you.\n\nO Darwin, we pray to you that this man never mates and his genes leave the gene pool.  We know you will grant us this.

Don't close any doors.  Take as many courses as you can, explore things, and take at least one course you're SURE you won't like but have never tried.  I didn't take biology in high school and i really regret it now.\nHave an idea of what kind of job you'd like to do, but you don't have to be specific.\nHave 1-2 backup plans for your "life plan".  I want to be a teacher, but failing that i can work in a hospital or newspaper, all three of which i would make into a happy career.\nVolunteer and working experience is absolutely amazing - you can learn all kinds of things...stuff you like, stuff you hate, stuff you wanna see more of and stuff you never knew existed.\nTravel.  Learn about different cultures, meet lots of people and don't be shy.\nMake and keep social connections.  Getting a job has a LOT to do with WHO you know.\nOh yeah, don't piss off your boss - you may need their help again.  Don't piss anyone off...haha\n\nGood luck!

first of all,  u shouldn't have taken up a subject which involves something that u are not able to do.you know what, parents didn't allow me to study medicine for this very reason. but now there is only one way and that is to face it. for you i think u should be courageous and not think that u are dissecting a living being. just focus on what u are going to learn by dissecting the creature.just recollect all that u studied about the creature and view its parts.if u really want to learn something then u have to face all the problems that u encounter and continue the process of learning without moving a step back!\nall the best for your studies :)

I was taught both - with the emphasis on Creationism....\n\nThank God I attended university afterwards and shrugged off the mind virus....
