Content authored by the BIS2A Team at UC Davis, from which much of the BIS2A reading material is drawn, is either heavily edited material originally drawn from the OpenStax "Biology" textbook or original material created by members of the BIS2A Team. The content was written to align closely with the lecture materials delivered in the first freshman/sophomore level course in biology offered at UC Davis and therefore focuses largely on life at the cellular level. Student feedback is used to continuously improve the quality of the materials.
