Personally, I see no problem with the botany terms except on scientific names. Botany terms are just easy to remember since they are mostly in English though some are derived from Latin like in medical terms but of course you have to know them by heart if you are to retain them in your memory. And with constant exposure on them, I guess you just can easily remember what they mean when you meet them.
When we were studying medical transcription, some medical terms are really difficult to define so what we did was everytime we got a very difficult term then we would associate it to something and made it funny. It helped and it was fun but in botany, you can just take 5 to 10 words a day then keep on reviewing them. I guess that’s the best way for you to memorize.
And as a student, the key to having excellent grades on botany is to never be absent from the class whether it’s a lecture and laboratory. Btw, take a look at this botany list here: academic.kellogg.edu/herbrandsonc/bio111....
There's really no way to memorize loads of terms at the same time unless you're a genius who can remember anything by just reading it once. Biology is a very broad subject that you will be encountering so many terms and definitions that you must remember. If you won't be putting your best effort, I'm afraid that things will be quite difficult for you.
I could give you some tips that you could use on studying for your Biology class. I've been using these pointers since I can remember and I never failed any subject so this might work on you too. ;) 1.
Listen carefully during discussions and take down notes When your teacher is talking, make sure to jot down important terms that are being discussed. Writing them down will not only provide you a copy of the discussion, but will also enable you to somehow remember them. This is the source of what most people call as "stock knowledge".2.
Read, read, and read some more Reading is beneficial to everyone because you can learn a lot by reading. Make sure to read your books during your free time. ;) 3.
Don't cram Exam will be next week but you would skip reviewing, then fast forward to the day before exam, you will rush scanning/reading through all your books and notes to review... who didn't go through this cramming moments? Although there were number of times that I crammed back then, I learned my lesson well so I won't be advising you to do the same thing. Studying days or weeks before the exam is much more advisable than cramming.4.
Create a reviewer Weeks before the exam, write all important terms then their definition on a paper that you can carry with you anywhere. I do this a lot back then especially on subjects that require me to memorize terms, names, dates and other significant and must remember terminology. You can bring this anywhere with you and during your free time, reading it over and over again will make you remember them easily.5.
Join study groups (if there’s any) Joining other students study the same subject will make you interested on the subject itself plus get to learn a thing or two from your other study buddies. So there, by doing those I mentioned, studying Biology or even other tough subjects will be a lot easier. And lastly, I guess you should also make yourself like the subject too because if you’re interested on the subject, you’ll want to learn more and of course enjoy things while you’re at it.
;) Goodluck!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
