This high school course provides students with an understanding of human body systems and the close relationship between form and function in the human body through lectures.

This ongoing introductory course is structured like a traditional semester class but offers the convenience and flexibility of a subscription-based model. Classes are held once a week, and the topics covered rotate each semester (fall, winter, and spring). Each class is independent of others, and no prior experience in anatomy or science is required.

The classes are designed to be engaging and interactive. Most sessions use PowerPoint slides to introduce new concepts. Learners will participate in labeling exercises, quizzes, games, and discussions centered around pathology and clinical cases. Optional study guides will be provided weekly.

Week 1: Introduction to Human Anatomy and different organ systems
Students will be introduced to the course, its objectives, and the fundamental anatomical terminology. We will then discuss the roles of different systems at the systemic level in the body.

Week 2-3: Nutrients & digestive system
We will discuss different roles of macronutrients and micronutrients in the body system. Then, we will discuss how food is ingested, digested, absorbed, and eliminated from the body system. Lastly, we will discuss disorders that are related to malfunctioning of digestive systems. 

Week 4-5: Blood & Cardiovascular systems 
We will cover the components and roles of blood in the body system. We will then discuss the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels. To be exact, we will explore  circulation (systemic vs. pulmonary circulation), and emphasize cardiovascular health.

Week 6: Respiratory system
We will discuss the functional role of alveoli and how air can be exchanged at the interface of alveoli and air. We will discuss how air can be flowed into the body system and the disorders related to respiratory system.

Week 7: Renal system (excretory system) 
We will examine the role of kidneys in excretory systems. Specifically, we will discuss how urine is being formed inside of the human bodies. 

Week 8-10: Immune system
We will discuss why we should care about our ability to fight against present and future infections using innate and adaptive immunity.  We will also discuss what happens if our immune system is not controlled properly, such as autoimmune diseases and cancers. 

Week 11-12: Endocrine system 
We will discuss why we should care about our ability to fight against present and future infections using innate and adaptive immunity. 

Week 13: Reproductive System 
We will discuss the role of female and male reproductive systems.

Week 14-16: Nervous System
Students will explore the intricate world of neurons, nerve impulses, and the central nervous system.

Learning Goals

Students will be able to identify and describe the structure and function of the major systems of the human body, understand their interconnections, and apply this knowledge to real-life health scenarios.

Hello everyone! I am Dr. Lee and have a PhD in immunology from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I also worked at Yale University for two years, where I examined the role of immune cells in the process of aging. I have extensive scientific teaching experience in high school and college settings. I have developed and taught various introductory biology courses in tutoring and in a classroom setting. I have also taught Korean in various settings in high school and college level. 

In my class, I will utilize various teaching methods that will help the students to learn biology, including cam-doc, PowerPoints, and worksheet. The students will also reinforce their knowledge by writing down the notes, which is an important aspect of future career. During the course, it is my goal to foster critical thinking, stimulate intellectual growth, enhance engagement and participation, and inspire students to reach their full potential. For me, teaching is another form of learning; my interactions with students ignite a continuous urge to learn more, trigger new ideas and engender strength to move forward. 

I will also incorporate diversity of student backgrounds, strengths, weaknesses and problem solving skills to customize my teaching style. Students needed to identify the experimental goals and organize fundamental biological concepts and my role as a teacher is to effectively guide students to a complete understanding of the subject.

I am also available for additional sections (requested by learners) and individual tutoring.  Please drop me a message to schedule additional sections if you would like to schedule other time-

Class policy: 
⭐ If nobody shows up in the classroom within 10 minutes after the start time of the class, the teacher will cancel the class for that day, and there won't be any makeup classes.
⭐ The teacher will provide grades to those who request them. However, to receive a grade, students must complete all optional quizzes, homework, and labs.
⭐ All students must show respect towards the teacher and their peers throughout the class.
⭐ Students are not required to use their video camera during class, but they must turn it on when they join the class every day. It's recommended to use a microphone instead of typing in the chat for better learning experience.
⭐ The teacher will only arrange makeup classes if they are unable to attend the class. There won't be any makeup classes if a student misses the class. However, students can view the recorded class if at least one other student was present in the class.
