Biology 203 9th Edition Lecture Study Organizers 3 and 4
If you have the 8th (older) edition of the textbook, use the 8th edition Study Organizers.
1) Prepare before lecture simply by highlighting the "Useful Illustrations," "Chapter Questions" within the chapter, "Predict" questions, "Review and Comprehension" questions, and "Critical Thinking" questions as listed below for each chapter. You do not need to read the text ahead of the lecture.
2) Attend lecture dynamically engaged with the topic at hand. Follow the logic, respond to the questions, visualize the analogies and anecdotes. The lecture will answer the questions "What is important to know?" and "At what depth should I understand it?"
3) Once you have a good set of notes from lecture, use the "Chapter Questions" to direct your study further. First, find the answer to them in your notes, and then highlight the answer within the text. Do not go to any more depth than was presented in class-- the text is usually more detailed than we need.
4) Vocabulary is one of the greatest challenges of this course. Find the boldfaced vocabulary within the chapter to define unfamiliar terms. Highlight these vocabulary terms and definitions within the text as you encounter them.. As you study, compare similar terms. Ask yourself, "How are these alike? How are they different?" For lecture, you need to know only the vocabulary used in lecture, or assigned in the "Chapter Questions."
5) Study the "Useful Illustrations." They are often more valuable than the reading in the text. Do more than just look at them. Instead, ask yourself dynamic questions about them. If it is an illustration emphasizing anatomy, ask yourself the names and function of the parts. If it is one of the "process" illustrations, ask yourself, "What is happening here first? Second? Third? Why?" As you study the useful illustrations, remember that you do not need to exceed the depth covered in lecture.
6) Review your lecture notes daily. Don't just read or memorize. Instead, constantly ask yourself dynamic questions about this dynamic topic of physiology: "What if....?" "What if it increases?" "What if it decreases?" "What if this factor is absent?" When you have a generalization in your notes, ask yourself, "What are some specific examples of this?" Dynamic questions develop critical thinking skills.
7) The "Predict," "Review and Comprehension," and "Critical Thinking" sections are good ways to test yourself. They will help you to think critically about the topic, and will assist you in studying for the tests.
8) Review is the key to all learning. Review makes the new and challenging familiar and manageable. Review newest material first as you begin your daily study, but review older material regularly. Review the highlighted material in your text, but most of all, review the notes and useful illustrations in the dynamic manner described in items 5 and 6 above.

Reference pages: 438-457; Summary, pp. 467-468; also p. 502 of Chapter 14.

We are simply summarizing major brain functions, so that we are using the text in a very superficial way for this topic.
Useful Illustrations: 13.1, 13.6, 13.7, 13.8, 13.12-13.14, and Fig. 11.6 from Chapter 11 and Fig. 14.11 from Chapter 14.
