In this class, I will present an overview of biology, which includes several fields such as physiology, molecular biology, cell biology, evolution, ecology, etc. We will also go over basics of science. This class is designed for individuals who have no experience in biology. If you do have experience, I will be offering a college level-level class.

This course will explore the history and origins of Creole communities around the world. Students will analyze these communities through the lens of identity, music, and food to better understand the unique blend of African, European, Indigenous, and sometimes Asian cultures, that formed a novel, “creole” society. While special focus will be given to French Creole communities, students will also become acquainted with a broader definition of Creole that can be applied to Hispanic, Anglophone Caribbean, and Dutch Caribbean territories. At the end of this course, students will confidently recognize Creole communities worldwide and will be able to explain the history of creolization. Required Texts: 1.

This online class can be modified for all levels. In the beginner classes, we will start from the basics of the French language, including grammar, pronunciation, accent mark studies, and Francophone studies. We can also modify each lesson to be anywhere between 0.5 and two hours. French is a global language, spoken on every major continent. Even where French no longer holds official status, it very well might hold an official status. I can confidently build both fluency and proficiency as well as build your understanding of the francophone world.

In this class, I will present an introduction to pharmacology. As a former alcohol and cannabis researcher, I had to learn a lot about what substances commonly referred as drugs are AND what they do to the body. In this course, we will study major drug classes. We will read some of the latest literature on these drug classes. We will also explore how pharmacological studies could help inform public health legislation. ** We will have to purchase the textbook out of pocket, but we might be able to get a PDF**
