BIOC423
Introductory
Biochemistry
Introductory biochemistry is a course in which students will study the
molecules and metabolic reactions occurring within the living cell.
The
emphasis in this survey course is on a chemical understanding of the
mechanisms by which cells integrate and control intermediary metabolism. Also
included in the course of study are quantitative problems in pH control,
enzyme kinetics, genomics and bioenergetics. For many students this is a
first, and sometime only, upper division science course. As an upper division
course, BIOCHM 423 integrates materials you have studied in your previous
general chemistry, organic chemistry and biology courses within the context
of human physiology.
BIOCHM
423 is a 3 credit
course that is offered fall, and spring semesters. Prerequisite: Organic
Chemistry (302 or 308). Students who have not successfully completed a one
year course in organic chemistry should not register for this course. Credits earned in
this course cannot be used to fulfill the requirements for a biochemistry
major. To be considered as progressing toward
a degree, students
majoring in biochemistry should NOT register for BIOCHM 423 and must register
for BIOC
445 and 446.
Fall 2007 Biochemistry Classes
Two different sections of BIOC 423 will be offered during the Fall 2007 semester.
Section 001 will be a traditional lecture based class that is supplemented with small group cooperative learning problem solving groups.
Section 002 will be primarily an on-line course that extensively uses small group cooperative problem-based learning. Student's registering for section 002 should be comfortable using web-based communication, self-motivated and will also require Dr. Anderson's approval to register for the course. |
