Steps for Success

Step 1: Introductions

Meet your instructor

About Me:

Hello and Welcome to Biology. My name is Eleazar Gutierrez. My primary loves include Science and Math. This course is among many flagship curriculums offered at this campus. As the title implies, it is meant for Science students pursuing Transfer or a Professional degree.

This series is designed to be engaging, fun, and rewarding. A great amount of time has been invested to bring this about. My degree is in Biochemistry and Biophysics. Biochemists and Molecular Biologists are interested in finding out how life works. This requires knowledge from various disciplines. Genetics, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, the list goes on.

I hope to instill my enthusiasm for the Life Sciences. That at the end or this term you decide that taking this course not only open doors and provided you relevant knowledge, but that it enriched your life.

Thank you for allowing KCC in general, and me, in particular, to facilitate your aspirations.
