- Review resources listed in the "How to succeed in this course" section of the Bio 107 Syllabus.
- Take as many practice quizzes as possible. It's easy to con yourself into thinking you "know" the material because you've read it, but the true test of "knowing" is being able to apply that knowledge:
- practice quizzes posted by the instructor
- quizzes on the CD-ROM that comes with your text
- quizzes on the text website
- Supplemental Instruction (SI) is available to students taking Biology 107. Melanie Ktorides, a former student in this course, will lead two weekly discussion sections, time and place to be announced.
- UConn Connects Support Services offers one-on-one support and assistance in finding tutors or other extra help to students who are having difficulties.
- UConn Student Support Services offer a variety of support services to UConn students.
- CLAS Academic Services Center: information on CLAS majors, minors, graduation, and Gen. Ed. requirements. Also answers to questions about waivers, academic counseling, and more
- Joe Landsberger at St. Thomas University has organized a Guide
