Good teachers remember what it was like as a student. Built for the learner who is always on the go, Coffee Break Bio is a series of short lessons all within your coffee break! Build your understanding of biology from the ground up in this course that covers the weird world of atoms to the first human cell. Lessons from this series include...

• The Scientific Method - What makes a good experiment, and how do I begin to think like a scientist?

• The Study of Life - What is the difference between all these scientists?

• Chemical Foundation of Life - At what point do atoms suddenly build into life?

• Cell Structure and Function - What are the most basic forms of life, and how do they work?

In this course you will enjoy fast and informative science, organized slides, and study guides. All presented to you by a veteran instructor. My name is Joe Ly and I am the biology instructor at the University of Colorado. I have a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Science in biochemistry for the University of Illinois. I am a published researcher in a protein crystallography project titled "Structural Basis for Enzymatic Off-Loading of Hybrid Polyketides by Dieckmann Condensation" and have been teaching college biology for over 6 years from small private colleges to state universities. I hope to bring the personal touch of my courses to you online!

This is a beginner's introductory course meant for anyone looking for a college level or review of biology.
