    This syllabus outlines the requirements and expectations for the accelerated biology course taught by Mrs. Karen Wolfe. The year-long course will cover units including ecology, cells, genetics, evolution, and human body systems through hands-on labs, projects, and assessments. Students are expected to complete all work honestly and will be subject to discipline if caught cheating. Grades are calculated from summative and formative assessments, with the largest portion from tests, projects, and lab reports. Mrs. Wolfe is available for extra help and maintains an online course website for additional resources. Safety protocols must be followed for laboratory activities.
