Section Description

The goals of this course are to develop a deeper understanding of the major concepts in genetics, learn how to apply these concepts to solve problems, and to develop a capacity to think critically about real-world issues related to genetics. The course covers topics from classical genetics to modern molecular studies. Analysis of genetic data is emphasized, from prokaryotic, animal, and plant systems.
May not be taken for credit concurrently with, or following receipt of, credit for ASCI 2160.

Section Expectation

This course combines two weekly lectures in a medium-capacity lecture hall with active learning and engagement expected, and one weekly small group discussion (i.e., recitation) involving group and individual work.
