Organization Questions ask about how the lecture is organized and ordered. Even if you don’t get an organization question about a lecture, recognizing the organization is very useful for organizing your own notes.
Watch the video about how animals see in the dark and take notes.

How was the lecture organized?
- It explained the difference between human and animal eyes (for seeing in the dark).
- It gave examples of four different animals’ solutions for seeing in the dark.
	1 big eyes: tarsier - catch more photons at a time
	2 gleaming eyes: cat - second chance to detect photons
	3 slow eyes: toad - catch more photons over time
	4 coarse eyes: moth - group photoreceptors together
