I have a difficult exam next week for Animal Behavior, and my teacher sent out an email suggesting ways to study over the weekend to make sure we are ready for it. Frankly, I think it's pretty awesome advice (and totally unexpected coming from him):
One of the best ways to learn tricky conceptual material like different levels of selection (DNA/gene, individual, group) is to force yourself to explain it on paper. Repetition is also important: read and re-read the material (e.g., pour youself a glass of wine some night and read through the first four chapters of Dawkins)
Oh yes, this strategy will be utilized.
