Maximizing Sophia courses at COSC

[Jonathan Whatley]

Biology is science, but it's SO much easier to find a Bio w/Lab course (SL, Study.com) that I wouldn't advise someone to take Bio unless they wanted to take the lab elsewhere.  It would duplicate the Bio w/Lab at Study.com, which is the cheapest option available.

The Sophia course is Human Biology. That's different from the general biology courses Straighterline and Study.com offer.  Human Biology is much more weighted in human anatomy and physiology while having no botany, no ecology, and no species evolution and differentiation (except that human bio has some genetics specific to differences among humans).

General practice at colleges is to treat general biology and human biology as separate non-overlapping courses.
