It's sort of like comprehension, there is a page of information then questions about it.
It's pretty good, there are stuff in there that arent in txtbooks and it explains some concepts better

+1. It has a lot of really good examples (mostly Australian examples too) which have been pulled out of nation-wide yr12 bio exams that are explained really well. As well as good comprehension, there is also plenty of application questions to do as well. Highly recommended by most schools.

Also listen to Douchy. ;)

I wouldn't spend too much time on BioZone questions.  It is  more or less good for reading.

Oh yes, and how could I forget - listen to Douchy. Try and download them now if they're still there. He is great for introducing concepts. Later on some might not find it as useful, but definitely good for starters.

Dayum, Douchy is a very dedicated teacher and a very, very good one. He will probably win another one of those awards :)

Really genuine guy, he also does a lecture a week or so before exams so you might be intrested in that :)
I went for Unit 3 and it was alright, most the stuff he said was already on the podcasts but the notes he hands out are pretty good. I felt that i knew most of the stuff he was talking abuot already but it's good because it reinforces what you already know. Costs around $35 from memory and it was at Monash Clayton.

I have them... But I'm not sure if he would approve of me uploading them... So, sorry, unless you can get his permission :)

I still don't get why he takes them down and doesn't put them on rapidshare or something similar ehich is 100% free.

The only reason I can think of is because it would hinder peoples participation throughout the year if they just listen to them all at once.

Yeah I agree stonecold. There are plenty of free ways to allow students access to them without taking up bandwidth on his podomatic account. What you said is definitely part of the reason. He likes do a fresh batch every year so that the podcasts are relevant and so people are more involved. But it can be pretty frustrating waiting for new material when you are well ahead and are sick of reading the textbook or whatever it is that you do.
