Supplemental Courses
During the academic year we offer "00" courses that are taught in conjunction with the large, introductory level courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The "00" courses meet weekly to clarify lecture material, provide tips for effectively learning the material, and prepare for exams.
