WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF John Campbell's BIOLOGY 1010 CLASS

This is the home page of Biol 1010, General Biology I, at Northwest College, and is intended for use by students in John Campbell's class. This page is designed to enhance the information you might get in the lecture and laboratory sections of the class. It will point you to new and interesting information on the Internet that simply could not be included in your textbook. Take a look at some of this information, try some of the quizes, and visit these topic related sites around the globe and see the rich array of resources designed to help you with your study of biology.

I. COURSE SYLLABUS

II. LEARNING RESOURCES

• CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES and ENHANCEMENTSThe Internet can be a great resource to supplement your textbook. I've organized two types of information for you. First, for each chapter you'll find a list of learning and study objectives. These should help you focus your study and readings. Secondly, I organized some off-campus internet sites that can enrich your study of each chapter.
• Raven and Johnson's Chapter Learning Tools are study aids from your General Biology textbook. Included here are review tests you may take to check your understanding.
• Mader's Chapter Learning Tools. Another textbook's study aids. You can access chapter outlines, terms, study questions and link to chapter-related web sites. You may have to fish around to find the correct chapters. Chapters 23 to 26 cover ecology.
• Companion Sites for four different general biology textbooks by Starr. The Basic Concepts of Biology probably comes closest to the detail from lecture, while the other three approximate the detail in your textbook.

III. STUDY HINTS Some ideas on how to do well in the class. Many ideas are simple, but most students will benefit by reading these hints.

IV. PRACTICE QUIZZES Try these interactive quizzes on general biology. They are provided by International Thomson Publishers, publishers of Starr's Basic Concepts of Biology, the textbook for which the quizzes were originally designed. Read and follow the directions provided with the quizzes, and choose the topics and chapters in which you are interested. Note that each question may not be covered in your textbook chapter. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to return to the BIOL 1010 page when you are done.

V. A SAMPLING OF BIOLOGY RELATED SITES

• EnviroLink Network is the largest on-line environmental information service on the planet. It provides gopher and WWW access to all environmental resources on the Internet and a free environmental news service.

• WWW Sites of Interest to Ecologists provides access to dozens of ecological sites on the WWW.
