    This document provides information about the BIOL 2104 Introductory Genetics course offered in the winter of 2012 at Carleton University. The course objectives are to provide an overview of genetics with an emphasis on Mendelian genetics and an introduction to the molecular basis of genetics in bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotes. The approximate lecture schedule lists the topics to be covered each week from January to April along with the corresponding textbook chapters. Students will be graded based on two midterms, a final exam, and laboratory assignments, with students needing to achieve at least 16% of their final grade from the laboratory assignments to pass the course. Study hints encourage students to attend lectures, engage actively during lectures, and study regularly.

    Grading: 10% Midterm 1, 15% Midterm 2, 35% Final, 40% Laboratory. In order to pass the
    course you must achieve at least 16% of final course grade from laboratory assignments.
    Study hints: 1) Come to lecture! This is the most efficient way for you to see the material on
    which you will be examined. 2) Engage in active learning during lecture. Think of it as 3 hours
    of genetics study each week. 3) Study frequently and regularly. This will enable you to keep up
    with, and understand, the terms and concepts that are sequentially built upon during the course.
