IMPORTANT: These materials are entirely optional. I am including them here for you to give them a try. BIO181 is a challenging course, and you should explore anything that has the potential to help you. Each student learns differently, so it is up to you to determine whether these lectures and slide shows will help you. If you find that they do not, then please just ignore this page. These lectures were recorded in a version of BIO181 that I taught at a different school, so you should ignore any references I make in the recordings about due dates, course requirements, etc. However, the biological concepts are universal, so you might find that your understanding of the concepts is improved by reviewing the synchronized slide shows.

The rightmost column shows you which OpenStax chapter aligns best with each lecture.
