What you'll learn

  • Understand more about the natural world around you, gain an appreciation for the complexities of life and score higher on exams!

Course content

5 sections • 36 lectures • 9h 28m total length

  • What is Biology?14:47

    This is the first lecture of our course.  It will define biology is and explain the characteristics of life. Download the fill-in notes to accompany the lecture if you are looking to be active during the video. By writing down information, you will use more "brain-power" as you process and organize new ideas. This will allow you to recall more than just listening/watching alone.  Because of Udemy time limits on videos, I will break lectures into multiple parts (when necessary.)

  • What is Biology? (Part 2): Characteristics of Life12:41

    This is part 2 of the first lecture.

  • Homeostasis19:05
  • Homeostasis (Part 2): Feedback Loops8:26
  • Section 1 Quiz

Requirements

  • A device for watching videos and the ability to download .pdf documents is all that's needed! (I should add, a hunger for learning and open-mindedness is also recommended!)

Description

This course will provide students with a basic understanding of an introductory level biology experience. It will contain video lectures and you will be provided with fill-in lecture notes, as well as end of section quizzes. It is up to you how you would like to experience this course, fast-paced for upcoming test preparation -or more slow-paced for learners that want to take their time. Either way, you'll be building a foundation for further biology topics if you choose to continue your adventure!


The course will cover most major aspects of a biology experience in high school or introductory college course. However, It can be useful to students (at any level) looking for additional help or prep in biology topics. The information presented will help you fill your personal science skill set and be applicable to the natural world around you. We will work all the way through what is called "the central dogma of biology", an informational pathway from DNA to molecular products. Don't worry, it will go step by step.


I have 25 years of experience teaching biology and chemistry at both the high school and collegiate level.  The course will be taught with an appreciation for life's intricate processes and applications to the real world will be integrated into lectures (when possible.)

Hopefully, you will complete the course with a better understanding of how cells work and are a key component and building block of the natural world.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed for high-school, introductory college and homeschooled students. It will also benefit AP-test preppers.
