In this 10-session online basic biology course, we’ll cover the core topics of biology, such as cell structure, genetics, evolution, and human anatomy. Each session will be interactive, featuring activities like labeling diagrams, exploring models, and discussing real-world examples. Students will have opportunities to engage through online activities and complete homework assignments to deepen their understanding of biology.

New members always welcome! Hello, and welcome to our Dialogue Club! Our goal is to bring people together to have open and collaborative discussions about modern topics and issues. We value participant input, and your feedback will help us decide topics for upcoming sessions. By joining a Dialogue Club, you can meet new students from around the world, improve your debate and communication skills, and play a role in fostering a positive learning environment! Additionally, by participating in a Dialogues Club (3+ sessions), you'll have the opportunity to build a Dialogues Portfolio, which can boost your college applications! Every session we'll open breakout rooms of 2-3 members to discuss the session's topic in a small group. A discussion guide will be provided with some guiding questions and an overview of main stances on the topic. Please be respectful of the other participant's view(s) and find perspectives that challenge your own stance. There will be a post-session survey where you can give feedback on your partners (this is where portfolio feedback comes from, so please be respectful and insightful to help your fellow participants out)! We hope to see you there! Schedule and helpful links: [Our Club's Hub!
