Biolympiads Crash Course
$75.00 $50.00 / month
This course is specifically designed for the biology olympiad preparation. Note it’s not an introductory course to biology and you are expected to have a solid foundation in biology before you take this course. So we recommend to read Campbell Biology at least three times and watch Khan academy videos to help you grasp the basics quickly.
The course material was prepared using the following textbooks used in the Biology Olympiad:
- Albert’s Molecular Biology of the Cell
- Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry
- Brooker’s Genetics
- Vander’s Human Physiology
- Raven’s Plant biology
- Principles of Modern Biology by Douglas Marsland
- An introduction to zoology by Rosalie Lulham
In this course, we will present the most important concepts that you should know for the Biology Olympiad. They were selected from all major fields of biology, including genetics, plant biology, zoology, biotechnology, biochemistry, molecular biology and others.
