About

Hello! This course is for learners who want to get a head start on AP Biology topics for the next school year. We will meet once a week for about an hour, going over the basics of one unit per session. We will be practicing using Khan Academy and past AP questions (both MCQ and FRQ). I look forward to getting to know you!

Prerequisites: None! Basic understanding of chemistry concepts is helpful, but not necessary.

Materials: Note-taking materials if you want/need

Note: This is not a comprehensive series, more of an overview and preparation series.
