Spring 2026
Class time and location
STTH – 11:00-11:50 (SCI-S C2 Room 120)
Textbook, readings, and lecturing style:
Molecular Biology of the Gene. 6th edition, by Watson et al.
The lectures will be given using powerpoint slides (see below). It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to print the material, come to the lectures, and take notes. You will be tested on the material I give in class and the book.
Attendance:
I will not give points for attending my lectures. You are a RESPONSIBLE student and you want to learn. Missing lectures will significantly affect your performance and grade. I do not intend to give lectures during my office hours or photocopy my lecture notes for you!
Academic dishonesty:
DO NOT CHEAT. You are smart and you can get the grade you want. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.
Tests and grading:
You will be given THREE independent tests each of which covers specific chapters. Each test is worth 30%. Your LOWEST test grade will be DROPPED and your final grade will be the sum of the two highest scores in addition to the final. The FINAL is worth 40% and will cover the entire course material with greater emphasis on the material that you have not been tested on. The tests will be a combination of multiple-choice questions and short answer ones.
