FALL 2009 -
NOTE: As of 8/07/09, both Biol 355 sections are fully enrolled. If you wish to add the course for Fall 2009, you must attend the first day of class, and you must bring your transcripts demonstrating that you have completed all three prerequisites with the appropriate grades. The transcripts may be unofficial - but your name must be printed on your transcripts. Decision on final enrollment will take several days to finalize.
Biol 355 Genetics - [Mon, Wed, Fri] Sections 1 and 2 only
Biol 355-01 #12116 9:10am - 10 am, ROOM TH 327
Biol 355-02 #12117 11:10am - 12 noon, ROOM BUS 104
The prerequisite courses for Biol 355 are completion of Biol 230 & 240 (1st year majors introductory biology) and Chem 130 OR Chem 333 (1st semester organic chemistry), each with a grade of C- or better. The prerequisites will be STRICTLY enforced. If you have not completed the prerequisite courses - DROP THE COURSE - you will not be allowed to remain enrolled in Biol 355.
•Successful registration (touch-tone) in Biol 355 is not a guarantee of enrollment--successful completion of the prerequisites must be confirmed.
•All students who wish to enroll in Biol 355 (whether you are currently registered or wish to add the class) must attend the first day of class (Wed, Aug 26, 2009). To expedite enrollment, each student must bring his/her unofficial SFSU transcript or SFSU DARS or transcripts from the non-SFSU campus, demonstrating successful completion of the prerequisite courses. These forms will be turned in to the instructor during the first week of classes.
•TEXTBOOK: Concepts of Genetics, 9th edition, Klug, Cummings, Spencer, and Palladino (publisher: Pearson, Benjamin Cummings, 2009) ISBN-10: 0321524047 | ISBN-13: 9780321524041. The SFSU Bookstore will have the hardcover textbook on the shelves at the beginning of the semester. An unbound version of the textbook is available online at www.mypearsonstore.com (see the "Books a la carte" option) for less than the hardcover version.
In addition: we will be using CLICKERS in class: GTCO CalComp Interwrite PRS (Radio Frequency) CLICKER. This is the same clicker previously used in Biol 230, Biol 240, Biol 401, and Biol 355.
Biol 743 Cell and Molecular Techniques
NOTE: As of 8/07/09, Biol 743 is fully enrolled. If you wish to add the course for Fall 2009, you must attend the first day of class, and you must bring your transcripts demonstrating that you have completed all three prerequisites with the appropriate grades. The transcripts may be unofficial - but your name must be printed on your transcripts. Decision on final enrollment will take several days to finalize.
Biol 743-01 #12164 Tu, Th 11:00 am - 12:15 pm, ROOM HSS 305
The course involves lecture and discussion of modern techniques and design of strategies used in cell and molecular biology research. Includes discussion of societal issues.
•The prerequisites for this GRADUATE course are
The prerequisites will be enforced. Biology graduate students will have priority for enrollment. Note that concurrent enrollment in Biol 357 may be allowed with instructor approval. Undergraduates will be allowed to enroll/remain enrolled in the course only after all graduate students have enrolled in the course.
- graduate status
- completion of Biol 357, Chem 340, and Chem 341 (or their equivalent) with a grade of C- or better, and
- consent of instructor.
•Successful registration (touch-tone) in Biol 743 is not a guarantee of enrollment--successful completion of the prerequisites must be confirmed.
•All students who wish to enroll in Biol 743 (whether you are currently registered or wish to add the class) must attend the first day of class (Tuesday, Aug 25, 2009). To expedite enrollment, each student must bring his/her unofficial SFSU transcript or SFSU DARS or transcripts from the non-SFSU campus, demonstrating successful completion of the prerequisite courses. These forms will be turned in to the instructor during the first day of class.
