This class is for highly motivated USABO competition students, or for any interested student who want to learn a lot of biology. We will be covering the materials taught in high school biology as well as the materials taught in college-level biology classes (aka AP Bio)--and more!
As recommended by the USABO organization, we will read the Campbell biology book (the official book of the competition). This means students may need to read and review up to 5 chapters each class.
Class is held synchronously, over zoom. Students who miss a class are welcome to watch class recording and email the teacher with any questions.
As we are covering a lot of materials, we will not have time to go over practice exams in this class. To have support in their practice, students can take the USABO PREP classes we hold in December and January. To cover materials in even more depth (at the level of Junior and Senior level college classes), we recommend that students join the Advanced USABO class once they have finished reading most of Campbell.
