Reflections on Biology

In Term 3, we learnt a little on lenses, which was part of physics and also, on ecology. For me, I feel that this term's topics were type of familiar as we were briefly introduced to the ecosystems in primary school. However, we are supposed to define various terms like abiotic and biotic factors and also, the carbon cycle. These aspects of the topic was the harder parts. Not like physics, biology requires quite a bit of memorising too, but not as much as chemistry, when it comes down to memorising of the various definitions of terms.

In the open-book assignment, despite it being open-book, I did not manage to score well due to the lack of understanding of the chapter. As there were other commitments beside the academic workload, I required much time management to balance the time well for everything. However, after this assignment, I realised the need to catch up as quickly as possible with the rest to achieve better results. For the actual test, I managed to score 76 which was good in my opinion as it was an A1. However, I feel that it was possible for me to do much better with additional effort put in. Overall, for all the terms, I managed to score an A which is quite remarkable and I am contented with the results after the hard work that I put in.

As we head to the last term and nearing the End-Of-Year Examinations, I need to work double hard to ensure that I carry on with this chain of good results and to attain similar results in the coming examinations. I still remembered that I got 1 mark off an A for last year's EOYs and I am determined to better the result that slightly pulled me down. ^^
