    1. creating sketches of molecules and biological processes,

      I'm seeing the emphasis on sketching and drawing in this class for quite a few times now, and I'm getting a sense that learning through visualization would be a key skill in understanding the materials in this class.

    2. We focus primarily on core principles common to all life on Earth, and because of biology's massive breadth, we put these ideas into a variety of contexts throughout the quarter.

      I've always learnt molecular biology at a very microscopic level only. How would a shift of perspective apply to micro and macro levels of biology simultaneously? And where can we see them in the real world?

    3. After class, review your notes, the podcast, and the post-study guide.

      The post-study guide is new to me. So far I've only had classes that gave study guides at the end of every unit, I wonder how having one after every lecture would make a difference in my learning process.

    4. Explain the relationship between genotype and key genetic processes that create phenotypic diversity.

      This is where I see the "connection of dots" in the learning process of the bis2 series happening. After taking bis2b and 2c with heavy focuses on diversity in evolution and the tree of life, I wonder how far we will go in terms of zooming in the focus on molecular level diversity in bis2a.
