- Course idea and teaching goals of Biology for non-biologists:
- Teach basic concepts of biology to students with no or little background in biology
- The goal is excite the students by giving them some glimpses of biological fundamentals
- Teaching is very informal giving enough time for discussion and questions.
- Schedule for Biology for non-biologists 2019
