| １． |
Outline |
|
The purpose of this course is to learn the following.
(1) The structures of DNA and RNA
(2) Replication of DNA
(3) Gene expression and its regulation
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
This course aims to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the genome is maintained and the genes are expressed or regulated.
|
| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
Final grade will be calculated according to the midterm examination (33%) and the final examination (67%). To pass, students must earn at least 60 points out of 100.
|
| ４． |

| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Students have to prepare each lecture by reading the corresponding chapter in the textbook and summarizing the content of next lecture in a notebook. This preparation will take one hour.
There will be homework each week. Students should review the questions they did not understand in their homework. This review will take two hours.
|
| ６． |
Note |
|
Students should take "Fundemental genetics". Please review the contents of "Fundemental genetics". Handout will be posted on LMS.
