Elementary Biology

I thought that I had learned most of the material needed for elementary biology in pieces already. I'm minoring in neuroscience and I'm taking the last class needed for completion of minor. And I took the same biology class until more than halfway before. So I've been pretty laid back about the course.

Last week, there was a homework due on Friday. And I found out on Wednesday that I couldn't understand most of the names. Since when do they have this many new words? Alarmed, I started to mend the hole. The problem set itself is not a problem; the real problem is that there is an exam this coming Monday. I have to do something or I won't graduate.

Luckily it seems that this course will be on opencourseware, and they are filming every lecture we have and put them on the web. I guess you can see what happened. I took a month's worth of lectures in a couple of days. And I finished the problems without too many problems. d: Lucky~.

I'm really surprised at how fast biology is going. Even at this fundamental level (this is one of the first classes a freshman has to take), there are many new things incorporated into lectures.
