Learning Outcomes
Sometimes it is nice to get a reward for a job well done.
Successfully complete the ten modules of Human Biology and earn the nine badges that represent facets of the three course outcomes: understanding concepts, practicing skills, and drawing connections between disciplines. Each of the three outcomes has a hierarchy of study from general science, to the life sciences (biology), to a specific group of life (humans).
