What is the challenging part about reading an AP Bio Textbook and taking note at the same time?

What would it be like to take notes on chapters in an AP Bio Textbook. Be specific.What is the challenging part about reading an AP Bio Textbook and taking note at the same time?
It has been scientifically proven that humans cannot read and pay attention at the same time therefore just focus on one paying attention or taking notes which ever one your better at.In an AP class you should mostly pay attention and just write down facts you know you are going to use.What is the challenging part about reading an AP Bio Textbook and taking note at the same time?

  • Question for college students: How often do you read the textbook for your class?

    I am taking a psychology class, and the teacher assigns several chapters for us to read, before each test. I always read the chapters, but this evening, I talked to another girl in that class. She told me that she only reads the chapter reviews, and that the lowest grade she has made on a test this semester, is a B+. So, my question is, do you usually read the textbook, or do you go off of other things that proabably take up less time, like notes, etc. ? Thank you!Question for college students: How often do you read the textbook for your class?
    It all depends on the rigor of the class. I have in the past known many students who have used only chapter reviews and done well. One of the things to remember is that they have to fill up a textbook, and so they get paid by the word essentially. You can highlight a book to pick out the important and relevant things, this separates the garbage from the good stuff, while also coding that piece of information into your mind. While a review will do the first part easily enough, it won't give you as in depth of a brain encoding as highlighting it will. I do, however, understand that college schedules are rough, and studying summaries can be a very good way to compress the time and get what you need out of a reading. Of course it varies from book to book, but it sounds to me like this is a decent review, go for it!
    I use my books as a reference when looking into concepts I don't understand well for the rest I focus on notes. I'm in science though so it may be different, reading the textbook never hurt anyone though. A lot of time textbook information is the exact same as the info in your notes just in more depth so if you understand the notes well you don't necessarily "need" to read the textbook.Question for college students: How often do you read the textbook for your class?
    depends on the class for example my art appreciation class i didnt even buy the book and i have an A in the class and my Chemistry class I have a B and we dont use the book either, BUT for my Biology class we live, sleep, and eat the book. We use the text for bio every minute possible. So it depends on the course and the professor if you use the book a lot =] hopefully that helped
    depends on how you learn...

    i take complete notes and skim read %26amp; highlight the chapters before i go into class

    and if at tests they give reviews i go back and highlight what i need to know in my notes!

    and its worked out great for me.Question for college students: How often do you read the textbook for your class?
    Read the chapter. Seriously, if you don't know that by the time you're in college, you've got a big problem.



    Ask this girl who gets B's just reading the chapter review how many times she's taken this class before.
    Just because that method works for her doesn't mean it will work for you. When I was in college, I always read every chapter and article assigned completely, and got straight A's through college.
    funny you asked. i know this guy who never bought the book bt is getting an A. i have the books but i rarely read...which is bad...

    i am trying to learn japanese and i am considering buying a textbook what is the best one to use if your an english speaker in the united states and how much dies it cost and where can i find it?What is the best textbook for english speakers to learn japanese?
    Don't waste your money buying a textbook that only covers a few grammar points and some vocab and kanji. Use these resources, the are free:



    http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ - is by far the best "textbook" out there for Japanese grammar, and goes further in explaining than any other textbook I've ever seen.



    Use these resources too:

    http://web.mit.edu/21f.500/www/vocab-pho… - go to "MIT JP Courses, then click on "Japanese 1."



    http://buna.yorku.ca/japanese/jp1000.htm… - the entry course Japanese taught at York University.



    Use http://jisho.org as a English-Japanese/Japanese-English dictionary, and to look up kanji.



    Then go to the iTunes store and search for podcasts teaching Japanese. The key to learning a language is to hear natives speak it.What is the best textbook for english speakers to learn japanese?
    just try to learn Japanese online, for example:

    Is it realistic to read about 170 pages of History textbook in 9 days?

    In addition to 170 pages of textbook, I have to read 40+ pages of an article and write a 3 page paper about it. The 3 page paper is due Monday and I haven't even started reading the article yet. I need advice on how to stay motivated in this accelerated summer course. I'm actually taking Film History also.Is it realistic to read about 170 pages of History textbook in 9 days?
    If you belong in college, you should be reading one page in two minutes (varies somewhat by material).

    170 pages should not take you more than 6~10 hours over two days.Is it realistic to read about 170 pages of History textbook in 9 days?
    My experience with accelerated summer courses has taught me you have to work them like a full time job: it's what you do all day, everyday, and you have to figure out how to organize it all in a way that's sustainable for you. Get on a schedule, sleep plenty, eat well, and when you succeed it makes the approaching fall semester so much better. Good luck!Is it realistic to read about 170 pages of History textbook in 9 days?
    its definitely possible if you are motivate and confident i read a 100 some page book in 3 hours hrs before just to do a 2 page review
    That shouldn't take you nine days, heck I'm slow %26amp; I get it done faster than 9 days. I takes me 3-4 days to do all of that depending on what speed I go at.

    How to I get over my fear of certain pictures in my biology textbook?

    This is going to sound ridiculous, but I am SERIOUSLY SCARED of snakes and spiders pictures in my textbook. I obviously have to read my textbook because I have a test on some chapters, but there's a page with like five pictures of snakes, I flipped to it once and FREAKED OUT. I threw the book and had chills... I really need help...How to I get over my fear of certain pictures in my biology textbook?
    I honestly think it would help you if you would just force yourself to look at it. The more you look at the pictures the less freaked out you will become because you become more desensitized to them. When you start your anxiety level will probably be a 10, but you'll probably find that the longer you look, it'll go down. It'll be uncomfortable at first, but that's what they do with OCD patients that have an outrageous fear of certain things like that and it seems to work.
    Tape some paper over the pictures or get some way to cover them without damaging the book, and you should be able to read it without getting freaked out. Works for me, yes I feel the same about some things lol, except I get afraid of the old people in my book liike einstein, he's creepy looking, lol.How to I get over my fear of certain pictures in my biology textbook?
    have a friend or family member cover the pictures with a taped down piece of paper .This is temporary and be sure to remove the tape slowly.
    Block it out of your mind.How to I get over my fear of certain pictures in my biology textbook?
    look at something worse, then then it just doesnt seem as bad looking at it
    Just try not to think about it
