Biology CLASS survey

My curiosity about the living world led me to study biology.

I think about the biology I experience in every day life

After I study a topic in biology and feel that I understand it, I have difficulty applying that information to answer questions on the same topic.

Knowledge in biology consists of many disconnected topics.

When I am answering a biology question, I find it difficult to put what I know into my own words.

I do not expect the rules of biological principles to help my understanding of the ideas.

To understand biology I sometimes think about my personal experiences and relate them to the topic being analyzed.

If I get stuck on answering a biology question on my first try, I usually try to figure out a different way that works

I want to study biology because I want to make a contribution to society.

If I don't remember a particular approach needed for a question on an exam, there's nothing much I can do (legally, i.e. not cheating) to come up with it.
