In that biology course, how would you want the biology knowledge to be taught to the students? Like what form would the knowledge take? For example, would it be that you want students to simply memorize a sort of currently understood concepts in biology? Would it be something else?
None of this line of questioning is related to this thread in a any way.
Err, but each of my comments have been directly addressing things that you've stated in this thread, so wouldn't that logically infer that my comments are related to this thread? Explicitly my logic would be: If comment A directly addresses the content in comment comment B, then A is related to B; each of my comments respectively address the content in each of your comments; therefore, my comments are related to your comments ^[1]^. Would you mind outlining exactly isn't related to the thread? Perhaps I missed something.

I think it's important to define exactly how "this thead" is being used in this context. When I use "this thread", it's to refer to our exchange of comments; it doesn't refer to all comments under OP's post. I'm not sure if there's an official definition for the term — perhaps I am not using the term in a commonly understood way. I think it's also important to define "on topic", though that may be a bit more difficult in this context. I would argue that we are on topic, but I don't have a super precise way to define it — perhaps you do?
