to Human Biology

Welcome to the HumanBio Learning Community

Enrolled OSU BI 103 students access this website and turn in assessments through the Canvas learning platform.  Even if you are not taking this course for credit, you are welcome to utilize these web pages for your personal learning or homeschooling.

Explore

This course is all about the human body.  We will be exploring general characteristics shared by our species, and you will be exploring personal characteristics, building a deeper understanding of capabilities.

Describe

When most people describe the human body, many of the descriptions are negative or focused on a limited range of characteristics.  In this course you will be learning new ways to consider and describe the amazing complexity of our bodies.

Explain

Much of our lifetimes revolve around health and disease.  This course will explain the biology behind recommended behaviors and set a framework for seeking and critiquing explanations well beyond this course.

Class any time, day or night.

We realize people are busy working, assisting family and their communities.  So each week you can work on lectures, labs, and assignments at the time that works best for you. 

Clear & Organized

Each week follows the same basic format with varying content that introduces the human body.

No Extra Materials

All you need is a computer and an internet connection.  This website will provide the text, videos, and activities, free of charge.
