Intro to Biology final. Prep resources? - Life_One - 05-30-2018
I'm wrapping up my last class from Straighter Line, Intro to Biology. I currently have a 98% in the class and am taking the final on the 10th. I really dislike the book that comes with the course. I've been searching on youtube for supplemental information and returned to Khan Academy with their AP biology section.
Do any of you have resources or recommendations for this final?

Crash Course Biology?

Does your school give a grade for SL? If not, then you only get a Pass or Credit for the course, in which case it doesn't matter what you get on the final, you'll pass the class, so no need to worry about it.

Thanks, guys! I'll check out Crash Course Biology, looks like it's what I need. I'll double check tonight but I thought this course. Intro to Bio has 650 points for the open book tests and exams and the final is worth 350 points. I would need a 50 something percent on the final to pass the class. You are probably right though I am more worried than I should be. I'm not sure if Pierpont gives me a grade for the class or not I assume it's pass or fail, I should know soon.

Pierpont doesn't grade the class, SL does. Like other ACE credits, it will come in to Pierpont as pass/fail.

Great! Good to know.

Some schools will take a SL course transcript directly from SL, so they will know the grade, and could put it on your transcript if that was their policy or agreement with SL. 99% will give it a pass/fall or CR, taking it from the ACE transcript (which doesn't list a grade).
