- loose leaf paper-wide or college rule. If neatness is an issue or if student has large handwriting, wide rule will help with neatness. Reinforced loose leaf is recommended, especially if your student is not gentle with their items 🙂

Biology DE (101)
- Notebook for note taking and a folder/ binder for keeping handouts.
- Northern Virginia Community College has selected a new curriculum using Pearson’s Biology in Focus by Urry et al: Campbell – 2nd Edition. There are a few different methods of obtaining the book:
- (Recommended)- Use the ebook that comes with the mandated online access port for Pearson’s MyLab & Mastering Biology learning system. (online access will be established as of the 1st Day of Classes. Students will need their NVCC student ID # given when they registered with NVCC)
- Purchase a binder-ready version of the textbook – available through the online port. (cost = $45)
-
Purchase the book used (copyright is 2016)- be sure to check with me before you select a used edition since there is an American edition and a global edition that look identical online but have very different content.
-
Purchase a new copy of the text from NVCC bookstore along with an access code for the online component.
-
Note: The online component, when purchased on its own costs around $66. This gives full access to everything students need in regard to the NVCC curriculum. On Day#1, I will walk the students through the process of registering online. They will need their student ID# in order to do this. We will ask them to complete the process at home, however, since a credit card payment will be necessary for purchase. I understand from NVCC that there will be a complementary 1-2 week trial period upon sign up before purchase is required. I will confirm this before school starts.
