There is a term test, an essay, and a final exam in this course. The first test will cover material presented in the first semester on the structure of nucleic acids, genomes, DNA replication, repair and recombination. This test will be given during the Christmas exam period. See the separate section for more details about the essay. Copies of old exams are available in rm.
Every year there are a few students who are unable to write the term test at the scheduled times.
We will make every effort to accommodate those students who have encountered difficulties that are beyond their control. In most cases an exam will be missed because of illness. Students who petition for special consideration for medical reasons MUST use the University of Toronto Student Medical Certificate. There is a copy in your Registration Handbook and Timetable. Students who miss a term test should go to the Department of Biochemistry Office for instructions.
