BIS102-070 is an Online Genetics Course. I have developed
and taught it for the past 7 years at Triton. I love molecular biology
and genetics. It has always been a great passion for me to learn and
understand how biomolecules are important in shaping us and why we are
who we are.
It takes a special student to successful in an online
environment. The main advantage of online classes are convenience and
flexibility. Because online courses do not have set meeting times, students
can choose when and where they want to complete their coursework. Online
classes put students in control of their learning.
