Question Just started the topic

You can hide this advertisement by registering.
hey poeple, myself and a couple other people just started the genetics elective and so far found it pretty interesting but very confusing. Just wondering if anyone has any useful sites or any useful study tips that they would be willing to pass on to other budding biologists.
Anyway, have fun people, hopefully i'll hear something. Have a good one, cheers, Elizabeth xoxoxo

Do you have the option textbook? it's only a thin book and it answers each dot points on the syllabus. It's called: "Biology Options" by McLaughlin and Hitchings"

It's easy to read and make complicated concepts clear.

Re: Just started the topic

Hiya, I did well in my Genetics (Core) and was wondering if this is much harder, my teacher wants to do Communication, but about 60% of Bio Students already do that >_< so yeah, I was just wondering...

Have a look at what you think looks best in the textbook. Personally, I didn't want to do the communication topic, however, by vote we ended up doing it. It was an average topic without any exciting practicals BUT for the HSC it ended up being great. The content wasn't as confusing as biotechnology would be and it was generally easy to remember and apply.
