Introduction to Neurobiology is aimed at undergraduate students new to the field of neuroscience. The first edition specifically targets students enrolled in BI360 Neurobiology at the University of Oregon and primarily contains topics covered in that course. Future editions will continue to expand on topics, details, and primary literature citations.

This OER is unique in its presentation of neurobiology content. The text is divided into short, easily digestible chapters that focus on one concept. Pairing the text with images, animations, and videos provides students with multiple ways of learning the content. The text is written with the undergraduate student that is new to neuroscience in mind. Neuroscience terminology is introduced in an easy-to-understand manner, and supporting content is clear and concise to minimize cognitive load not associated with understanding new material

Each chapter ends with an interactive quiz for student self-evaluation of the content. Quiz questions provide feedback, so students can self-check their understanding at the end of each concept and receive immediate feedback about their learning.

The Politics of Sports

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Anna Carroll, Eleanor Wakefield

Subject(s): Writing and editing guides

Last updated: 2025-10-07

Editors Carroll and Eleanor Wakefield draw on their experience guiding students to investigate sports critically and develop rich, complex research questions and related writing projects. The result is an introduction to the politics of sports as an area of inquiry that prompts students to engage with topics that may already seem familiar (and, for some students, some that are entirely new) to develop critical thinking and writing skills. When students read interesting articles, have engaging conversations, and are invited to question their assumptions about sports, they learn to think critically, write better papers, and actively engage the rhetorical concepts that will prepare them for future academic writing.
