Additionally, the scientific process and methods of conducting science will be highlighted. If you have ever taken a science or biology course previously, this class may be quite different. You may think of science as a set of dry facts to be memorized and regurgitated on an exam. It is often taught as if it were a body of unchangeable bits of information. This is a gross distortion of what science really is.
Science is a process .
Biology is a field in which the scientific process of asking and answering questions is used to understand living organisms. This course therefore stresses questions. You will be learning some facts about biology. There will be things to memorize. However, a lot of what you learn will be processes and such.
