Course Evaluation

REGARDING COURSE CONTENT--THEMES AND TOPICS FOR THE UNITS

-Unit I: Cells and Genetics
-Unit II: The Body--Internal Maintenance
-Unit III: The Body--Environmental Interactions
-Unit IV: Human Populations (I know, you haven't done it yet, but you can check it out)
Which Unit did you like best and why?

Which Unit did you like least and why?
I disliked the first unit the most I think, and that is only because it just seemed overwelming, and alot of work, It just took a little getting used to.
Is there some major area of Human Biology that you feel was neglected and should be included in the course?
No I thought this course was a lot of fun and interesting to be honset. I don't really like biology and for me to enjoy a course is pretty good.
MAJOR TOPICS
-Cells
-Genetics
-Oxygen/Blood/Immunity
-Food and Nutrition
-Nervous Function
-Movement
-Reproduction
-Human Ecology
Which two Major Topics stand out as particularly well presented? Why?
I feel that the food and nutrition because I thought that it gave a lot of interesting facts and seemed to be very knowledgable for me. Also genetics, I learned a lot about because it was so much information and was in great detail.
Which two Major Topics stand out as having been confusing or difficult to understand? Why?
human ecology, and nervous system, because they were not topics that I feel I got as much from as the other ones.
