Description: This course, which examines paradigms in biochemistry and cell biology with a specific focus on the “central dogma” of molecular biology, is designed for Biosciences majors and minors and is recommended for students who want to strengthen their fundamental biology knowledge before taking other 300-level BIOS lecture courses. Using a “flipped” format, lectures are available online, and in-class activities address confusions/questions, examine both historic and contemporary research papers, explore cases and problems, and engage students in short writing assignments.
