The Student Companion is designed to guide students through the challenging material needed to master the study of biochemistry. The idea is simple: by systematically dividing the daunting task of learning a large quantity of information into more manageable tasks, the Companion lets you study material in sensible increments and helps you retain what you have read. The basic steps outlined for learning and reviewing every chapter help you set your objectives, prepare for exams, and establish study habits that will serve you in future courses.
