I have been teaching nonmajors biology at the University of Oklahoma since 1997 and over that time have encountered many students who fear science in general and biology in particular. The complexity, abstractions, and unfamiliar terms can be overwhelming, and some students believe they can?t do well because they?re just not ?into science.? In writing this book, I have focused on students and what you need to be successful in a nonmajors biology class.
