It is intended as a supplement for a standard textbook in biology, or for students who wish to review such material. '11th Hour: Introduction to Biology' would be of particular use to students enrolled in a major's or non-major's introductory biology course, or students taking AP biology. It concentrates on those topics that usually give students the most difficulty, and problems/questions are rated throughout in terms of their level of difficulty.
