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.
