Syllabus

It is suggested that you complete this course in 6-7 weeks.

There are three Synchronous Video Meet-ups scheduled throughout the course to help support you during your engagement. These Meet-ups will be scheduled to align with three suggested start dates and timelines for completing the course. You do not have to align your own progress with one of these timelines, but we highly suggest it for maximum support from the staff and facilitation team.

The three timelines are:

  • Track 1: May 12th – June 26th
  • Track 2: June 2nd – July 17th
  • Track 3: July 2nd – Aug 21st

Prerequisite

Experience with high school level biology content is helpful for navigating this course as it is not designed to teach content, but rather pedagogical tools that can support the content.
