Slide 13 of 27
Why this class is difficult…
1. Honors Biology ≠ AP Biology -- Biology knowledge base may be deficient
2. 42 Chapters (over 1,000 pages)
3. 3 credits vs. 8 credits for college
4. Significant Mathematics focus (Chi-Square Test, etc.)
5. Application & Evaluation Test Questions
![Page 14: AP Biology (An Introduction) Mr. Boswell Room 208](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55144f40550346494e8b5053/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Slide 14 of 27
Why this class not difficult…
1. Clear expectations Vocabulary & Objectives
2. Information is readily available
3. Course Materials sourced from 5 Biology textbooks
4. Course materials are easily accessible
5. Few complicated concepts
![Page 15: AP Biology (An Introduction) Mr. Boswell Room 208](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55144f40550346494e8b5053/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Slide 15 of 27
What is a College Level Course?
Student-Driven Learning
“students are expected to work independently outside the class”
Role of teacher is to highlight some important points Will NOT cover every concept in class
Homework will consist of videos or readings that need to be completed before class
