First Year Courses
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has three main goals: to achieve the ability to recall necessary material of biochemistry (facts, structures, mechanisms, etc.) in protein structure and function, energy production and utilization, and intermediary metabolism, to achieve an understanding and be able to find solutions to biochemical problems under unfamiliar circumstances, and to emphasize relationships, precedent, problem-solving (whether quantitative or not), and the importance of developing the logic and intuition to know what is or is not likely to happen, and why. The class meets five days a week for 50-minute lectures, and the exams are in an essay format.
