Course <strong>Web</strong>site A course website has been created and is available at http://courses.washington.edu/gs<strong>361</strong>sum Much of the material used in lectures will end up on the class web site, but there may be a lag of several days. The website also includes a link to a Go Post discussion board that has been set up for the class. Audio podcasts will be made available for the class. The audio podcasts, the course website and discussion board should be used to complement lectures, not as a substitute. Textbooks There is no required textbook for this course. Each lecture will be accompanied by a handout that covers all of the in-class material. For students who would like to have a general reference book to supplement course material, the following textbooks will be put on reserve in Suzallo library: • Griffiths, A. J. F., Wessler, S. R., Lewontin, R. C., and Carroll, S. B. 2008. Introduction to genetic analysis. 9th ed. W. H. Freeman and Company, New York, NY. ISBN: 139780716768876 • Hartwell, L. H., Hood, L., Goldberg, M. L., Reynolds, A. E., Silver, L. M., and Veres, R. C. 2006. Genetics from genes to genomes. 3rd ed. McGraw-Hill, Boston, MA. ISBN-10: 0073227382 • Klug, W. S., Cummings, M. R., and Spencer, C. A. 2006. Concepts of genetics. 8th ed. Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ. ISBN: 0131918338. Grading The final grade will be determined by exams and participation points for lecture and quiz sections. Exams. There will be a total of three exams, each worth 100 points. Exams are not designed to be cumulative, but they will end up being somewhat cumulative because the later course material assumes that you understand the earlier material. We will allow you to bring hand written notes on one 4x6 index card, but that really doesn't mean much—if you don’t understand the material, having notes won’t be much help. We will give you an index card to use; it will be handed out during the lecture preceding the exam. Class participation points. Each lecture will involve several clicker questions. If you attend at least 9 lectures, as determined by your participation in answering the clicker questions, you will receive 10 points. Otherwise, you will receive zero points. Having someone take your clicker to class and click for you when you are not there is a violation of the Honor Code. We will report any breach of conduct to the University Disciplinary Board. Both the clicker-giver and the clicker-receiver will be reported. The clicker receiver channel is 41. 5
