The Bend Mistakes In Biology

Decent Essays
The stretch mistakes are the main mistake I use in Biology. The last time I took Biology it was my tenth-grade year in high school; therefore, I do not remember a lot from that class. After the last test I realized I had to change my study habit. I started making Quizlet’s for the vocabulary words, and I rewrite the notes from class so I can understand it more. I decided to challenging myself more, so I can learn more. However, knowing that I am challenging myself I know I will fail, but I know it will help me learn. I enjoy class a lot more when I understand the terms and the concepts we are going over. The aha-moment mistake is something that I sometimes do. When I study for a class with some friends I feel like I am studying; however, we

    Colonel Harland David Sanders was rejected 1009 times before finding someone who accepted his chicken recipe. He failed 1009 times before finally attaining his lifelong goal. What if he had quit after the first rejection? Or after the first 100? He would have settled into the dull routine of every other American, finding something less adventurous and risky to do. Since he was willing to endure 1009 rejections, and had the stamina to continue pursuing his goal, his chicken is now the prized item on the menu of fourth largest fast food chain in America.…

    His book links to the third and fourth big ideas in the AP Biology curriculum framework, associating closely with learning objectives 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 4.23, and 4.24 (The College Board, 2015). I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of ways the author chose to present his ideas, and my only complaint is that it was sometimes hard to follow Moalem’s haphazard way of storytelling, which was something akin to the unpredictable swing of…

    Friday was the big test day. When I entered the classroom, I overheard some of my peers lament about how tired they were from staying up so late trying to study. I was confident that I would do great, and yet a small part of me was still nervous that I would fail. When our instructor handed out the tests only the sound of pencil scratching paper could be heard. When we completed our tests we were allowed to leave, so when I finished mine I was out in a flash.…

    On two seperate occassions this past week mistakes were made during lessons. I made a mistake on an assessment paper and copied the wrong side of the quiz and Mrs. Doss made a mistake and copied the wrong set of words for the entire class during word study. It really helped having 2 people in the classroom so new copies could be made and brought in ASAP. We were both able to laugh about it later in the day and realized we both were having a rough morning. I know that in a normal classroom you wont always have 2 people or a teachers aide to be able to fix mistakes.…

    For my final essay, I would like to write about a belief that I did not have at the beginning of the semester. The belief is that committing errors is beneficial, and erring is completely normal. Although errors are generally inconvenient - and I cannot say that they are not harmful - I believe that they are beneficial in the long run. After reading Kathryn Schulz's Being Wrong, and after writing a handful of essays and short papers which required research, my opinion of error has evolved and matured throughout the course. At the beginning of the course (and even before then), I looked at errors with disdain, because I focused on the negative consequences instead of the positive consequences.…

    High school came to an end May 15 for me, and I believed college wouldn't be much different, but I wasn't entirely correct. Many things changed which I had to accustom myself to, from living on my own, to making sure I ate correctly, but little did I know that I would have to change my study habits. For as long as I can recall, I have been using the same study habits throughout high school. I believed and was taught to memorize, but I also realized that even though I would pass my test with flying colors, I would find myself forgetting a majority of what I had memorized a month and or a week ago. Now that I am aware that the technique used in high school, will no longer apply in my college years, and years to come.…

    Going back and reading my response papers is bittersweet for me. The first semester of my freshman year is coming to an end and I cannot fathom it. I go back and read my response papers and can see them in a different perspective now. During the course we have discussed a number of themes. The themes we have deliberated in class include education, language, human nature, justice, government, and social order.…

    When reading Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. Its Grown. Here’s How, the ideas and theories addressed throughout these two chapters have really changed the way I have looked at how I have been taking class. These chapters discussed the theory of myelin and deep practices and how those affect the way in which our brain learns certain things. In dance, at least for many of us, we have spent a long period of our lives redefining our technique.…

    Many people struggle with the thought of failing, though failing is not the real thing you should be worried about, but rather the actions taken afterwards to improve your wrongs. Biologist Lewis Thomas describes this as being “ the very base of human thought, embedded there, feeding the structure like root nodules.” Without the mistake there is nothing to grow from and expand your knowledge on. If you were to get everything correct at all times there would be nothing to educate yourself with after the fact, making the reaction to be considered worthless. The beginning of mistakes is the beginning to a new solution that has not been discovered yet.…

    As a Biology major, my fall semester of my sophomore year, I was introduced with introductory biology lab which was the first Biology lab I have taken in college. I only had Chemistry lab, my freshmen year, therefore did not know what to expect for this class except that it will be a different experience from chemistry. I did not have a strong Biology knowledge from High School, so I was willing to work as hard as possible to be successful in that class, which wasn’t easy to execute when taking other hard science classes such as Organic chemistry, Genetics, Organic chemistry lab etc. To be successful in introductory biology lab this past semester, I realized that time management was key. Not only for this class but any other classes.…

    Memory is something that we all use in our daily lives. The way it helps us is by giving us the information that we need in which was received and stored in. The way that I can use specific memory to improve my study skills is by planning ahead of time, use known information that is relatable, and organize a concept. And those strategies will help me to improve the way that I encode, store, and retrieve information that I have stored in memory.…

    I believe that if you don’t respect the teacher the teacher won’t respect you. Or you won’t have a good relationship with your teacher and if you don’t have a good relationship with your teacher it will be harder for you to like the class and get things done. One weakness I have is that i get distracted easily but i do notice sometimes and I try to go back to my computer and get it done. I want to work on getting better at focusing on my work and not what others are doing.…
