Biology is composed of the five learning plans below. If you are on the credit-based system you will earn 1.25 credits for completing all 5 plans.

        
       Cells

       Human Biology

       DNA and Genetics

       Evolution

       Ecology

You can access the Miller Levine Text by clicking here. See the whiteboard in the classroom for login information or email me at sognck@osd.wednet.edu . 

      Each learning plan is intended to take 4 weeks to complete and credit is received after all work is completed at an 80% level of quality. One lab is to be completed each week in order to receive credit for your learning plan.

Words of advice:

Don't fall behind.
Don't be discouraged if you need to retest or revise your papers, projects, and labs.
Make use of calendar of recommended target dates for assignments so you can meet your four week goals.
