AI-Generated Study Tools for General Biology
(Based on lectures delivered by Dr. Ty C.M. Hoffman)
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Except for the original lectures linked in the table below, the resources on this page were generated by artificial intelligence (AI), using a tool that analyzes and summarizes information from my lecture recordings. Because these are AI-generated, it's possible for some errors to be present that I did not catch. But the AI tool does such a good job, that I am offering these to you as optional study aids. These are SECONDARY sources of information. The PRIMARY sources are my actual lectures, upon which these are based. These materials were originally produced for a course that I taught in a previous term. Therefore, any mention of things like due dates, etc. should be ignored. Also, the study guides available below do not reflect the style of my examination questions. The guides are simply a way to get you to think about some of the important concepts that I discussed in my lectures.
