Textbook Site.--Registration required.
On-line Biological Dictionary.--Not provided by the textbook publisher, so the definitions may not match exactly.
Powerpoint Lectures.--A professor at Victor Valley College in Victorville, California, who uses our same text puts some of his lectures on-line. Not exactly the same as the lectures for this class, but some students have found them helpful!
Study Aids--For each chapter, there are outlines (these are only outlines, and are not intended to replace the detailed notes you should take in class). The outlines also include lists of terms to know, and learning objectives for each chapter. Following the outline, there is a list of definitions of the terms to know, a list of suggested study questions for each chapter, then a video lecture for each chapter. Note that the video lectures are separated into a number of sections; you need to watch all of the sections to obtain all of the material for each chapter.
