[nabs-l] Extremely frustrated with microbiology class

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, ~Jewel,

The way my Mom always tried to help folks understand was by asking 
the person to pretend she is on the phone and giving a description of 
the cell or blob,  to someone else in such a way that  the listener 
is supposed to know exactly with what they are dealing. This means 
color if in fact, the blob's color is relevant. See how applicable 
that idea is to your situation.
Good luck, I can't imagine being so frustrated!
