Fall 2024

Biol 355-03 Genetics - [Mon and Wed, 11am - 12:15pm, HH 543] - Teaching Mode: In-person

The prerequisite courses for Biol 355 are completion of Biol 230 & 240 (1st year majors introductory biology) and Chem 115 (General Chemistry I), each with a grade of C- or better. The prerequisites ARE STRICTLY enforced. (Note that the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department requires a C or better in all prerequisite courses, if you are planning to take Chem 215 General Chemistry II, Chem 130 General Organic Chemistry, Chem 233 Organic Chem I, or any other course that requires Chem 115). Note that if you have not completed the prerequisite courses - you will not be allowed to be enrolled in Biol 355. Successful online registration in Biol 355 is not a guarantee of enrollment--successful completion of the prerequisites will be confirmed.

Note: If you have completed the three prerequisite courses, each with a C- or better, but are still blocked from online registration, please communicate with the instructor by e-mail to request a permission number. You may be required to provide unofficial transcripts or course syllabi to support your request.

REQUIRED: There is no required textbook for the course; however, we will be using the free PollEverywhere(PollEv). Students will need to use their mobile device, laptop, or tablet to access a URL/QR code to participate with PollEv during class.

All students who wish to enroll in Biol 355-03 (whether they are currently registered or wish to add the class) must attend the first day of class (MONDAY, August 26, 2024).

Biol 743-01 Cell and Molecular Techniques - [Tue and Thu, 11am - 12:15pm, HH 108] - Teaching Mode: In-person

The course involves lecture and discussion of modern techniques and design of strategies used in cell and molecular biology research. Includes discussion of societal issues. The prerequisites for this GRADUATE course are graduate status, completion of Biol 357, Chem 340, and Chem 341 (or their equivalent) with a grade of C- or better, and consent of instructor. The prerequisites will be enforced. Biology graduate students will have priority for enrollment. Note that concurrent enrollment in Biol 357 may be allowed with instructor approval. Undergraduates will be allowed to enroll/remain enrolled in the course only after all graduate students have enrolled in the course. Successful registration (touch-tone) in Biol 743 is not a guarantee of enrollment--successful completion of the prerequisites must be confirmed.

There is no required textbook for the course.

All students who wish to enroll in Biol 743-01 (whether they are currently registered or wish to add the class) must attend the first day of class (TUESDAY, August 27, 2024).
