By definition, biology is the science of life or living matter in all its many forms and phenomena. It takes a look at issues like the origins of life, growth and development, reproduction and structure.

Biology is further broken down into many different specialized fields, like microbiology, cellular biology, etc.

It’s also served as the arena for a great deal of controversy and debate – such as Darwinism vs. Intelligent Design and the like.

Unfortunately, the "science" of it has the potential to scare some people away. Admittedly, being such a huge branch of science, it has the potential to be intimidating. However, if you can break biology down to its basics, and use that as a solid foundation on which to build upon, you'll never have to cower in confusion again!

Enrollment's always open and the materials and lessons are available 24/7.

Biology 101 is an ideal course for college and pre-college students looking for a logical and easy to understand class in a self-paced learning environment. This course is additionally strengthened by integrating clear, well written text, a host of diagrams and pictures, critical thinking assignments and comprehensive lesson reviews and exams for each lesson.

Of course, high school and college students aren’t the only people who stand to benefit from this course. Successful completion doesn’t require any previous medical or scientific background. In fact, anyone over the age of 13 years is encourages to enroll.

You’ll begin with an introduction to the science of biology and progress through the related chemistry, studying cells, taking a look at the science of genetics and the principles of evolution, plant life, animal life and the delicate system of ecology.

Even better, you won’t have to spend an arm and a leg on textbooks or other materials. This class was designed as a stand-alone platform which covers all the major concepts of biology. Everything that you’ll need in order to succeed is provided for you immediately upon enrollment. So, not only will you save time in the self-paced environment, you’ll also be able to save money as well.

Grades are awarded based on your performance on each of the lesson’s multiple choice and true or false quizzes (which are worth between 20 and 25 points each). A few lessons will also include a short assignment that’s based on lesson facts and opinions that were expressed. You’ll need to maintain an average grade of 70% throughout the class in order for successful course completion.

By the time the class is over, you’ll have gained a solid and clear understanding of the very science of our existence. You’ll be well equipped to further your studies in other scientific arenas as well.

While traditional classroom settings demand that you wait for a new quarter or semester to enroll, those delays are moot here. Class enrollment is open and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so there’s no reason you can’t act now to gain a competitive edge at school or in the workplace.
