Biology 30 - WINTER 2023: Quarter 4 T/T/S - Online Synchronous Class

Quarterly fast track classes are best suited for students who are aware that this will be delivered using a compressed timeline. Each Metro class is 87 hours of instruction. A quarterly fast track course includes 12 hours and 20 minutes of instruction per week, whereas a semestered class includes 6 hours of instruction per week. Quarterly fast track courses move twice as fast as semestered courses. Students should consider the time and space they have to dedicate to their studies in choosing the timing of course-delivery.

This Metro Academic Class is offered in an 8 week, Quarterly Fast Track format. This class is delivered all ONLINE.
