This report is an account of the development of a minicourse program for the purpose of college-level introductory biology instruction. The complete implementation effort is described from an examination of the program which the minicourses replace, to the proposals concerning implementation of the new curriculum. Sections of the report are devoted to exploration of other modular programs and to the creation of each particular biology module. This work, along with reference materials cited, should provide a helpful guide for the creation and implementation of an introductory biology program with a minicourse format. (CP)
