MANY STUDENTS APPROACH BIOLOGY WITH INITIAL EXCITEMENT BUT LEAVE THEIR COURSE DISCOURAGED AFTER MEMORIZING A SEA OF FACTS. THE WONDER OF SCIENCE AND THE THRILL OF DISCOVERY ARE NOT BEING COMMUNICATED. XBIO'S AUDACIOUS GOAL IS TO RETHINK BIOLOGY EDUCATION BY OFFERING STUDENTS A MORE EXCITING AND ACCURATE WINDOW INTO THE LIFE SCIENCES. IN ADDITION, WE WANT TO OFFER STUDENTS A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR FREE, RECOGNIZING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN IMPOSED BY TEXTBOOK COSTS.
