This course is self-contained, which means you do not need a separate biology book. There are video segments in each unit. These videos are important, and you will be tested on the information they contain. It will also be helpful to have access to the larger internet because many of the lessons point to websites that will increase your understanding of the material. While the websites will help you understand the topics better, all assignment and test questions will come exclusively from the course material. If a website is no longer accessible, you are welcome to enjoy learning about the concept by looking for other sites on the internet; however, you are not required to do so.
This course comprises both original content and materials from an open source online textbook. If you ever would like to know more about a particular topic, you may find additional material in the textbook.
