Abstract

The article presents a study that analyzed the questionnaires completed by representatives of the College of Examiners for the Advanced Placement Examination in Biology based on interviews with instructors of introductory biology courses. The said questionnaire aimed to determine the content of introductory biology courses, the organization of introductory biology courses, the degree of correspondence between the Advanced Placement course description and beginning biology courses, and the evaluation of the Advanced Placement Examination in Biology. Results revealed by the survey lead to a revision in the college course description.
