2) a) I have taken honors biology, honors chemistry, and AP chemistry in high school.
b) I preferred the biology class more, although I took more chemistry classes.
3) From this class, I would like to learn concepts about biology that will be helpful in my life. I want to apply the learned concepts to my life instead of just learning and forgetting about them after the course is complete.
4) In my opinion, group projects, especially when it comes to helping out the environment, are very fun and interesting. At my high school, we had many service projects that included cleaning up and restoring the exterior of the school. Thinking about my peers, I believe issues that affect them like water quality will be the most appealing.
5) By helping with the service-learning, I would learn the extent of how we as humans are affecting the planet and feel a sense of community. I believe that seeing the effects firsthand will teach me to change the way I think and live. Additionally, I would learn about how to implement public strategies.
6) In general, I would like to learn more about the quality of water (the pathogenic organisms) since it affects human health.
