Series Details
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.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please try to attend each session, as there may be later units that depend on prior knowledge. However, I will be posting links to practice problems and videos for the topics that we cover through the group chat.
