ClassApp:Bio is a virtual binder of tips and information that your professor probably won’t teach you, but you’ll still be expected to know. It bridges the gap between high school and first-year biology, and it will remain an indispensable resource throughout all of your undergraduate years. It is a 'toolkit' for undergrads navigating the many requirements for doing assignments: finding relevant journal articles, improving grammar and spelling, citing references, avoiding plagiarism, etc.Fill in gaps you may not even know you have.Model organisms. Taxonomy. Classic Papers. Tables and Charts. Grammar. ClassApp:Bio covers the details you didn't know you didn't know. Plus there's plenty of bonus biology highlights, including key definitions, links to cutting edge science news, and the best bio-movie for a Friday night (whether ‘B’ movie or documentary).For first year and beyond.We think ClassApp:Bio will become a constant companion throughout your studies as you refer back to it to find answers to science writing questions, directions to more in-depth help, and suggestions for pop-culture books and movies that have been “biologist approved.”What you need to succeed.At ClassApp, we believe that each student needs only two things to succeed in a biology class: the textbook and this app . . . oh, and an instructor.
