BIOL 130 · Introductory Cell Biology · Waterloo

Cell biology you can run, not just read.

All eleven modules of the course notes as figures you can click, simulations you can run and questions that come back until you know them. Read before class, check yourself after, and review a little every day.

Daily review Start with Module 1

Today

Read and prep before a lecture, check yourself after it, and do the daily review every day. That loop is what makes it stick.

Question of the day

One question, every day

Pulled from all the mini exams. Get it wrong and you get a link to the chapter that covers it.

How each module works

Four modes on every module page, plus a review loop that runs across all of them.

01 · Before classRead and PrepRead is the notes, cleaned up, with the blanks filled in and the figures alongside. Prep takes 5 minutes: you guess at three questions first, then get the big picture and the words you'll hear.
02 · LearnChapters you doShort sections that follow the course notes with page numbers. Each one has figures, simulations and questions, and your first-try score is saved.
03 · After classCheckWrite down everything you remember, compare it with the notes, then take a short quiz. Anything you miss or guess goes into your daily review.
04 · Every dayDaily reviewSpaced, mixed review across every module you've covered: questions, terms, diagrams with the labels covered, and explain-it prompts.
