Hi K,
I currently have Shabel for Bio 1B (Evolution) this semester. Do you have any tips on how to study for his midterms? Are the assigned readings from the book important or does he usually focus just on lecture material? Thanks in advance!

Dear Anonymous,
I hope I'm not too late :)
When I had Shabel for bio 1B, he taught ecology, so I'm not sure how he'll test with evolution. However, for his ecology midterm, he focused more on lecture material, if I remember correctly.. Pay close attention to his graphs and charts because one of our questions focused on one of them. Also, he asked questions on examples he gave during lecture. If you have time, I would read the book to supplement the lectures because If he assigned the readings, then it might be fair game for the midterm :/ One more thing, he tends to focus on small details so look through the lectures thoroughly. But once again, I had him for ecology so please take my advice with a grain of salt!
Best of luck on the midterm! :D
