Educational Activities on the World Wide Web
I have produced numerous tutorial activities, lectures and laboratories
associated with the teaching of Biology. These can be found at http://www.blc.arizona.edu
and http://www.biology.arizona.edu. The work includes:
- Lectures for Biology 181 students.
- Problem sets with associated tutorials.
- Problem sets to be submitted by students for grading.
- Full background and details of the HIV/AIDS laboratory, including a current discussion of recent progress in the treatment of AIDS.
