INTER 102 - INTRODUCTION TO GRADUATE STUDIES 102

[2 Credits]

The overall design of this spring semester course is to provide exposure to graduate level education in the biomedical sciences to Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) scholars and with special permission, employees interested in pursuing graduate education within the School of Graduate Studies. The INTER 101 course, offered during the spring semester, will serve to introduce the graduate genetics. The graduate genetics component will further provide insight into the cellular use of the macromolecules DNA, RNA, and proteins, as information storage systems for hereditary variations of biochemical pathways and macromolecules, as well as functional and phenotypical characteristics of living organisms. The course will be composed of formative assessments, such as quizzes, out-of-class assignments, and classroom participation, as well as a summative assessment in the form of an examination.
