For this reason, additional material will occasionally be placed on reserve in Milner. These materials are required reading. Laboratory-Discussion Sections will serve two purposes. First, these sessions provide an oportunity to discuss the materials presented in the class and to present new materials that are best discussed in a technical setting. Secondly, these sessions will provide the opportunity for students to gain some experience with technical aspects of immunology through a series of demonstrations.
Immunology is an experimental discipline.
As with many other areas of modern biology, new discoveries in this field are often driven by technological advances as much as by fundamental insights into the nature of these systems. It is important for students of this discipline to understand the power and limitation of techniques as well as the basic information regarding cells Information learned in the laboratory discussion sections will be covered in some of the lecture exams as well as in the lab quizzes . Attendance at all laboratories is essential to earn full credit for laboratory quizzes and reports. There will be no make-up lab quizzes. Students experiencing difficulties in the course are strongly encouraged to see me without delay.
