daijobu Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 We just finished the biological sciences thread and are about to return to the chemistry thread, acids/bases. I think so far it's been generally good. I like the reproduction part...from meiosis to ecosystem populations. Maybe I didn't execute correctly, but I felt a great deal of time was spent on viruses, but not a comparable amount of time on bacteria. Since vaccines were grouped with viruses, I felt like I had to sneak in the fact that there are these things called "bacteria" and some vaccines help with bacterial diseases, too. I also feel the lack of a textbook for the student is a greater problem at this level. I'm still able to find lots of supplementary texts, but it's more difficult now for some topics, like most recently, ecosystem populations. I wish he would write one for the student, illustrated in color. Still, I'm loving his "relentlessly big picture" approach to science. He won't let us see those trees until we understand we're in a forest, too! I'm eager to hear what others have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
