Extra Credit Blog

What topics really confused you?
- The chapters on photosynthesis confused me along with the BioChemistry chapters. I wasn't really good with Chemistry and the bonds really confused me.

What topics do you feel very clear on?
- I feel really clear on the plant dissection, and structure of the plants. I also really liked the ecology unit, i'm not sure if it was easier because it was at the beginning of the year, but i really understood that.

What lab/ activity was your favorite? Why?
- My favorite lab was the toothpick lab, because it was really fun, and hands on. I really understood it because it was simple and direct.

What lab/activity was your least favorite? Why?
- My least favorite lab was the virtual genetics fly lab, i didn't understand what we really had to do, i guess it was a bit confusing for me because it was the first virtual lab that we had to put onto our notebooks.

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?
- If i could change something about the class, i honestly think it'd be a lot easier if we didn't have online homework, sometimes there could be problems where we can't open a link, or anything could go wrong and we won't be able to do much until the next day. I like that we can turn in some homework over the weekend, but i think that we can do a lot better on studying or working on our lit circle books if we had more time with reading and studying than online blogs. I also think that it would be a lot more helpful if we can know exactly what we need on our spiral and lab notebooks a few days before they are all due, so that it can be a way of checking off what we need in order to get a high score.
