 * ** Hank's Biology Crash course videos are pretty good. ** He covers lots of topics that we're covering, too.
 * ** Bozeman Biology Resources are also very good: **
 * ** Khan Academy: ** Lots of people like his materials. I find that they're decent. Most of the videos I have looked at are not very innovative, but if you're just looking for an explanation that you can watch over and over again, you can find it here. The quality of the material is usually pretty decent.
