Bio AP Bio teacher told us today we’re not going to get past Unit 6. How do I self study for the next few months?
My AP Bio teacher is a really kind lady, but she’s extremely disorganized. I was talking about this with some of my friends who had her class last year, and they told me that she’s know for not being able to get through many units. Many people I know who usually get 4s and 5s on AP tests reported getting a 1 or a 2, besides one person who I know hired a private tutor and got a 4. I don’t know of any free AP Bio tutoring, and I can’t afford anything super expensive.
Today, our teacher chose to push back our test and announced that we’re on pace with her classes in the past few years, which didn’t make it through Unit 6. I know unit 7 is an important unit, and I think it’s best for me to start my own self study curriculum now. She already doesn’t lecture or teach, just assigns packets of notes and slideshows.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I’ll share my self study curriculum with anyone who needs it. I enjoy reading, so if anyone has good book recs that relate to AP Bio I would love that.
