一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>Genetics is a course designed for biology majors and is part of the core 
<br>that 
<br>all biology majors must complete. The objective of the course is to 
<br>introduce 
<br>the principles of Mendelian, molecular, quantitative and population 
<br>genetics. In 
<br>addition to the body of facts associated with genetics, you will be 
<br>introduced 
<br>to the methods that various scientists have used to solve different problems 
<br>in 
<br>genetics and the methodology that was used to test competing theories.
<br>This is a tough course. But don't be scared. You simply must discipline 
<br>yourself 
<br>to do suggested problems and readings when they are assigned (not just the 
<br>night 
<br>before an exam). It's a very good idea to read assigned chapters before the 
<br>lecture instead of afterward. Ask questions if concepts are initially 
<br>unclear. 
<br>Students who study the material before class and come to class with prepared 
<br>questions, in general, will do much better than those who do not. It is also 
<br>a 
<br>good habit to take notes during lecture. To achieve your potential, you 
<br>should 
<br>allot at least 1-2 study hours for each lecture hour (i.e., 3-6 study 
<br>hours/week). Group study is encouraged - having to explain something to 
<br>someone 
<br>really focuses your attention on what you do or don't understand! However, 
<br>while 
<br>you are encouraged to talk to each other about solving problems, you must be 
<br>able to work on your own when writing out the answers.
