What can I do at home?

Although you are required to take all of your exams in the testing room of the Biology Learning Center (BLC), much of your work can be completed at home with an Internet connection and your textbook.

You can complete all of your textbook worksheets at home. These worksheets serve as your "lecture notes", much like you would obtain from going to a formal lecture. You should study these worksheets to help prepare for the exams. You can also complete the self-tests (practice tests) and other review materials on the course website using your home Internet connection.

Labs: Many of the labs require that you come into the Biology Learning Center to use the lab materials on site, such as microscopes, models, and kits. However, other labs can be completed partially or entirely at home.

The following is a table showing labs that MUST be done in the Biology Learning Center (BLC) vs. labs that can be done at HOME. Of course, if you do not have a computer at home, you are welcome to do ALL of your work in the BLC!
