Each student will present his or her project to the class in a 10 to 15 minute presentation, including figures intended for the poster a week before the poster session.

I am in my office most times when I am not teaching and have an open door policy if my door is open I am happy to talk to students. I also am happy to schedule appointments to meet with students, and I regularly check and answer E-mail.
Writing is most successful with multiple drafts.
I am happy to read early drafts of all assignments, but do not require them. Students with documented learning disabilities or other disabilities should talk to me about any special arrangements needed for their success in the course. Applied Molecular Genetics. Wiley-LISS is the one required text for this class. This book describes many of the techniques currently being used in molecular genetics research, with a brief description of microarray strategy.
