Introdcution to Biology (BIOL 1010) Course Lectures
Overview
This course contains classroom lecture content for the instructor to deliver an Introduction to Biology (BIOL 1010 ) course. Two books were curated and used to develop content for the lecture modules. Both books, Biology 2e and Concepts in Biology, are available in the OpenStax OER platform. The lab components, as links, were curated from Biology OER hosted by the City University of New York. Lab components are found in the Open Educational Resources for General Biology I and Molecular & Cellular Biology resource.
