Introduction to plant biology and botany

I have designed this course to introduce you, the student, to the principles of plant biology, botany, and the scientific method. In this course, you will learn about the structural organization, classification, physiology, reproduction, heredity, and evolution of plants and photosynthetic organisms. Additionally, this course provides an overview of the plant kingdom and compares various plant groups within the kingdom. This course was primarily designed to serve as part of the general education requirements for graduation from a community college to fulfill the science requirement for associate degree graduates. I have released this course on Udemy with only minor modifications from the original course, so by taking this course you will be learning at a college level. As part of your learning process in this course, you will be able to experience college-level reading, writing, and mathematics assignments.
