Sorry for being harsh, but the changes to the High School Biology curriculum are AWFUL!
The very first thing it jumps into is "cell specialization"
Where is the discussion of "what is a cell?" Where is the discussion on "what is life?"
There are probably 25 topics before jumping into cell specialization.
Hi, Steve!
I've passed this feedback along to the appropriate team so they can review not only this section but any other courses that might need a boost.
As we grow and expand, we’re continuing to add new content to offer a better education at Khan Academy. Investing more heavily in the content team is actually one of our major initiatives.
Thank you for being part of our community and please take a look at our article that explains Khan Academy's Content Principles.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not pleased with the new High School Biology course. If you have a moment, can you please submit feedback to the form linked here? Your feedback will go directly to the US content team for review.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us! We really appreciate it!

I agree. The New High School Biology is not good. Is there a way that I can add the old high school biology into my courses on my account? The one located at https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology
This course seems much more comprehensive and I want to be able to track my progress but I can't add it into my account b/c only the "new" high school biology is listed.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! If you haven't done so yet, please do share your feedback in this form. We are taking a look at the course feedback to share with our team.
The more specific you can be with your feedback, the better! Is there a particular unit or concept that you find to be lacking content?
Thank you again! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your insights!
I did leave feed back with the feedback form. The "new" high school biology course (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/hs-biology) is stripped down to the bare bones. There is no real substance to each of the units of study within the course. Sometimes only having one video with no development of any kind. Where as the "old" high school biology (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology) is much more comprehensive and seems to go more in depth to each subject. I also like how it starts the course with an intro to biology and the scientific method. It seems like the most natural way to start a course for a new student in that subject. The other course just jumps right in without any lead in or context.
I can get to the old version by following the link but it does not show any of my progress in my account at all. Even if I'm logged in and do the work it does not appear in my learner progress.

Sara, yes I filled out that form (at least i think it's the same form).
Kaylie, I agree 1000%. As of right now there is no way to add it to the "edit courses" in the teacher side. That's setup by Khan Academy. However you can still assign the videos/articles/exercises that are in other curriculums not listed for teachers. Drill into each of the videos/articles you want and click the "assign" button in the upper right corner. Then you can assign it to a class. It's a clunky interface for teachers, but it does work.
