This class is for highly motivated USABO competition students who feel like the regular USABO class is too much of a review (for example, for students who have already ready most of Campbell).
To keep ourselves challenged and to continue growing our biology knowledge, we will learn anatomy and physiology using Tortora and Derrickson’s 13th edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. If students request, we can also cover certain plant biology chapters from Stern’s Introductory Plant Biology.
We will also learn how to read and analyze primary literature—this is useful skill for any future scientist, and especially one who is planning to intern in a lab as a highschooler!
Students who miss a class can make it up by watching videos of the class and coming to the teacher with any questions.
For students who have already finished the Campbell Biology text, are still interested in more challenge.
