Hi everyone!
Welcome to our course! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re majoring in biology or just starting your science journey, this class is designed to help you explore the fascinating world of life at the molecular and cellular levels.
This site will serve as your Syllabus for this semester—information about assignments, policies, due dates, tech setup, and support resources. You’ll also find tips to help you stay organized, keep up with your coursework, and make the most of your experience.
I believe that everyone can succeed in biology with the right tools, strategies, and support. If something isn’t working for you—whether it’s a technology issue, a life event, or just feeling stuck—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help.
Let’s make this a semester of curiosity, growth, and discovery. I’m excited to learn with you!
Warmly,
Professor Lisa Anderson-Koepsell
