Studio Format: This class is taught in studio format. During each 2-hour class session, short lectures will alternate with time devoted to studio exercises or group discussions. Instructors will interact informally with students as they work on studio exercises. Students are encouraged to interact with one another as they work on solving problems or addressing questions posed.
Lecture Notes are provided in web pages for each class. These are equivalent to (but not identical to) embedded PowerPoint slides used during lectures.
Textbook: Unless indicated otherwise, Page numbers given in lecture notes refer to the textbook by Biochemistry, 3rd Edition, 2004, by D. Voet & J. G. Voet. For some topics relating to cell biology, page numbers are also given for the textbook Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts, Johnson, Lewis, Raff, Roberts & Walter, 2002 (A)
Recent articles (optional reading): A list of recent journal articles (mostly review articles) is provided for each topic. These articles, which were used as sources of information in preparing the web-based notes, may be of interest to individuals wanting to read in more detail about recent advances in particular areas.
Quizzes & sample test questions: Potential test questions (essay questions) and self-study quizzes (mostly short answer questions) are provided as study aids. Some (but not all) questions for in-class quizzes subject to grading may be based on previously distributed potential test questions and self-study quizzes. For students at Rensselaer, an announcement relating to quiz format will be provided one week before each quiz.
Potential test questions will be discussed at the end of each class period. Students should seek answers to these questions while listening to lectures and carrying out studio exercises.
