Why Biology? is the first ever theme-based course that associates biological processes to topics relevant to students lives. This approach enables non-majors students to create connections, become more engaged with the content, and make informed decisions as scientifically-literate citizens. Relevant themes such as cancer, climate change, GMOs, among others thread the biology content throughout it to engage students. This product can be used for a one- or- two semester biology course.

This product is Evergreen: updated and relevant with new content and tools delivered directly to your existing Connect course. Engage students and freshen up assignments with up-to-date coverage of select topics and new questions, all without having to switch editions or build a new course.
