About this Guide

Welcome to BI 103!

This has long been one of our favorite courses to teach, there are so many fascinating aspects of the human body. We are starting small with cells and tissues, and will build the body one organ system at a time. Along the way are stories related to the biological basis of health and disease. These are human stories, shared by all of us. Thank-you to everyone for showing up and making academic progress; you are appreciated.

Looking for something to do at home with family? Make a cell model! This one is out of candy and jello.
