Tutorials/reviews next week (april 14-18)

According to in-class (Wed.) voting, and to the few messages I got, we'll have two tutorial sessions next week:

Thursday (17th) 9-11, room TBA
Friday (18th) 9-11, room TBA

If you are able to let me know in advance what you would like to go through, please post your requests here (it will help with the choice of material to cover in the sessions).

Next week there will also be extended office hours on Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri (TAs there from 9 to 3 or 4pm every day).

On Friday (the 11th) I will post my email adress here for those who find that it's an easier way to communicate than  the blog (Q&As, with identification details removed, will also be posted here).


Happy studying!

hi pam!
i was wondering for haughn's section, do we have to know those examples of arabidopsis mutations, names of the signal/receptor/other proteins in the signal transduction pathways, differentiation in red blood cells, or other examples like that?

You don't need to know all the names, but it's good to keep a few examples in mind.
What I mean by keeping examples in mind is that you should know what KINDS of proteins may be involved in the process of development (you can have TFs, ligands and receptors, all sorts of signalling proteins, etc).
The whole central question of development is: how can you go from one cell, or a few identical cells, to many different kinds of cells? How can a general progenitor cell differentiate in many different kinds of cells?

I hope this makes sense.

I don't know what the general conclusion was...

but are we allowed a cheat sheet?

and the final exam is
10 question = 100 marks...but out of 90?

No cheat sheets, and anywhere from 10 to 12 questions. The details aren't finalized yet, but most likely you'll have some "bonus"--> e.g. if there are 11 questions at 20 marks each, you can score up to 220, but 200 is 100%.

In the last class professors mentioned that we are allowed to have 1 cheatsheet. Am I wrong?

I did not come to the last class, and they did not mention it to us, but if you say so, I believe you. I'll double check with them on Monday.

Thanks for letting me know!
