About MCB 150

Expectations & Assumptions

  • You can expect to have a chance to talk at certain times during lecture or discussion.

  • We will expect you to listen when someone else has the floor during lecture or discussion.

  • Class is not over when the bell rings, it is over when the instructor or TA dismisses you.

  • We will expect you to wait to pack up books & papers and put armchair desktops down until we finish the lecture or discussion.

  • We will expect you to turn off any device that could cause a distraction to your fellow students and/or instructors during class.

  • You can expect to have an organizational outline with objectives at the beginning of lecture and a specific reading assignment on the course Web site prior to lecture.

  • We assume that you will attend all lectures and arrive on time. Announcements made and information given during lectures and discussion are considered official, and it is the student's responsibility to make up for time missed in class.

  • We assume you have the ability to understand the fundamental concepts of modern molecular and cellular biology.

  • You can expect all of us--lecturer, teaching assistants, and course coordinators--to help you understand those concepts.
