Course:Biology


comment:

    The last time I learned Biology was two years ago. It was not very hard. But this course is 

talked about based Biochemistry. It is so professional that I had not learned before. Today when I 

listened the course which are about Genetics and Human Genetics, I could not understand very 

well. Because there are too many Professional terms to learn,and I am not the scholar in this field. 

But there is a good sign. Though I cannot learn Biology, I can realize some words he said. I think 

it is a chance that let us learn the English in the course.
