| Programs of Study |
This course can be found in the following programs of study:
|
2007-2008 | I : Catalog Course Description |
|---|
| Offers a basic science (Mendelian genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics) and detailed clinical case study and correlation-oriented (pedigree analysis, gene cloning, inborn errors of metabolism) course that demonstrates the principles of genetics/heredity in human health and disease. Strongly recommended for those pursuing pre-medical studies. |
| II : Course Objectives |
|---|
Offers a basic science (Mendelian genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics) and detailed clinical case study and correlation-oriented (pedigree analysis, gene cloning, inborn errors of metabolism) course that demonstrates the principles of genetics/heredity in human health and disease. Strongly recommended for those pursuing pre-medical studies.
Upon completion of BIOL 212, the student will have:
- 1.Gained factual knowledge (terminology, classifications, methods, trends) about Introduction to Human Genetics.
- 2.Learned fundamental principles, generalizations, or theories of Introduction to Human Genetics.
- 3.Learned to apply course material (to improve thinking, problem-solving, and decisions) in Introduction to Human Genetics.
- 4.Developed specific skills, competencies and points of view needed by professionals in the field most closely related to Introduction to Human Genetics.
- 5.Acquired an interest in learning more by asking questions and seeking answers about Introduction to Human Genetics.
