CD
Receiving your course material on CD-ROM is our most popular method (this gives students portability - some even take their CD’s with them on holidays!). The course material may also be copied and saved to a USB stick, as well as downloading, printing and binding the lessons into a folder for you to organise. CD’s are also an excellent choice for people who have a computer but do not have internet access or have a slow connection.
Online
Online students require a reliable internet connection. Our Student Study Zone allows you to view all of your course material online, anywhere in the world. Students can watch videos, read notes and study illustrations on the computer screen then complete self assessment quizzes to gauge their learning.
Correspondence
Course material may be supplied in a printed format. Students work through notes, practical tasks and assignments. The student is guided by a printed study guide and accompanying materials as well as advice and feedback from tutors. Assignments are submitted to tutors for grading and feedback, and exams can be taken anywhere in the world.

What you will be doing in this Course
- What is a protist?
- Draw a table to compare three different phyla of marine protists.

- Do sharks deserve their reputation as maneaters?
- What are the main differences between sharks and rays, and what are main benefits to them of these differences?
- Describe the relationship between a particular kind of lamprey (ideally, one found locally) and its host, considering who benefits and/or who does not, and why.
- List three families of local bony fish.
- Briefly describe the biological characteristics of three fish families:
- structure
- feeding
- colouration
- reproductive
- defence mechanisms
- Discuss the behavioural characteristics of the three families you researched:
- territorial behaviour
- migration
- schooling
- reproductive behaviour
- Draw and describe the gills of bony fish, and explain their function.
- What families of fish are characterised by their habit of sitting perched on their lower fins?
- What are the special adaptations of fish and other marine organisms that live in the mid to deep zones of the ocean?
- List the most significant bony fish that occur in your nearest marine waters, and briefly describe their marine environment.
