BICD100 GENETICS
Section A00 and B00
Winter 2007
Professor Reinagel

There will be a WebCT course website for this class. Until that is launched, here is some basic information:

Text Book

The textbook this year is new: Transmission Genetics: A Short Course, Pierce, WHFreeman publisher.

Sorry it's a new one but it is MUCH better, and not too expensive. Copies will be available at the UCSD bookstore soon, bundled with a free solutions manual and cdrom. Transmission Genetics is a custom paperback of selected chapters from the larger textbook Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, so that book is also fine if you can get a copy.


Exams

NOTE: OUT OF CLASS Midterm exams: NOTE: NON-STANDARD Final exam time: Make sure you are free for the midterms and the final exam before registering for this class!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I take the final at another time?
A: sorry, no.

Q: What if I have a conflicting exam during an out-of-class midterm?
A: Please talk to the head TA on the first week of class. (Head TA is to be announced).

Q: What if I am enrolled in one section but want to attend class at the other time?
A: The lectures will be the same at both times, but the classrooms are generally full to capacity. Therefore seats are reserved for the students enrolled at that class time; students from the other class are asked to sit in the aisles unless seats are empty after the lecture begins.
