This 5-week class allows students to explore topics in genetics. This class will consist of lecture videos made by the instructor, and they will be posted for students to follow along with. The Powerpoints have words, pictures, and discussion based questions. Although supplemental material is given, the assignments are based on the videos and Powerpoints only. The assignments are designed to allow the student to interact with the material, rather than just trying to memorize.
