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