Bio 10

Bio 10

Bio 10 is Introductory General biology (Lecture and Lab) for nonmajors.  We meet for 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab a week. Bio 10 is great place to start if you are familiar with science or had strong science classes in high school.  If not, you may want to focus on your math and English skills before taking this class, then come in when your ready. This class can be overwhelming if you are not prepared, so feel free to talk to me about it first.

Course Description: Bio 10: Fundamentals of biology for the non-majors: Scientific inquiry, biological chemistry, cell structure and function, DNA genetics, evolution and ecology, and an overview of living organisms. Includes laboratory exercises designed to complement lectures.

FALL 2023  we will have fully online (lecture and lab),  AND fully face to face  (lecture and lab) options.  Make sure you look at the modality as you sign up for classes

BIOL 10 sections are taught by Dr. Leslie BlackieAmy Bohorquez,  ,  Emily Quach
