Week 1 BIOL 15 Lectures

Here are links to the first week of lectures. There will usually be 4-6 videos per week with each video lasting 10-20 minutes for a total of 1.5-2.5 hours of content each week.  In Canvas these same videos will be configured with a piece of software called PlayPosit. The software allows me to add practice questions directly into the videos and bookmarks along the timeline so that it is easier to stay engaged.
