How to study life sciences subjects during university years? Hello to everyone, I am a first year pharmacy student. I would like to ask for some helps about how to form a good approach to study life sciences subjects(chemistry and biology) ? Since my university lectures are based on notes(slides), most of time those notes do not even delve deeply into the topics, and the lecturers recommended us to buy some reference books (Pearson) to look for extra knowledge ( they told us to study smart, but most of us do not really know how to extract the important points and study them within a short period of time). Should I go through the reference books base on my lectures notes' learning outcomes? Or should I should go to find some exercises on the Internet, maybe watching lecture videos? Could anyone shares some good learning methods to me. Thank you for any comments and advice. Thank you for any corrections and comments.

Hello to everyone, I am a first year pharmacy student. I would like to ask for some helps "help" is non-count, like water and sand.about how to form a good approach to studing life sciences subjects (chemistry and biology). "May I ask if...?" is a question, but "I would like to ask if..." is a statement. Since my university lectures are based on notes(slides), most of time those notes do not even delve deeply into the topics, and the lecturers recommended that we buy some reference books Here, the English structure is different from the Chinese.  We never say "Jim recommended Bob to buy a book".  Instead, we say "Jim recommended THAT Bob buy a book" or "Jim recommended buying books". (Pearson) to look for extra knowledge ( they told us to study smart, but most of us do not really know how to extract the important points and study them within a short period of time).  In most first-year university biology classes in America, there is required reading to go along with the lectures.  I never had a 'books optional' introductory biology or chemistry lecture.  That seems really weird!
Should I go through the reference books based on my lectures notes' learning outcomes? Or should I should go to find some exercises on the Internet, maybe watching lecture videos? Could anyone shares some good learning methods with me? Thank you for any comments and advice.

Your college sounds like the opposite of mine.  Where I went to school, for first and second-year classes, the books were very, very important parts of the class--even more important than the lectures!  All I can do is recommend getting the books your professor recommended, read them, and enjoy.  Biology is a fascinating subject, and I'm very, very glad I studied it.
