MIDTERM

Please post here all your thoughts, comments, ideas (positive and negative), and questions about the midterm.


Tutorials for the week of Feb 11-15

Hi T53/51 and T59 students!

Your next tutorials will deal mainly with eukaryotic genes and how they can be regulated. We will go through everything you need to know  about this (all the elements of the system, how they interact and how we can study them).

Please go over your notes....we'll go through all the concepts and information needed to answer the assigned questions (although we won't necessarily do all the questions as they are in the book.).

For those who have the 8th edition of the book (green cover), the eukaryotic gene regulation stuff is  in the second part of chapter 10, and the assigned questions correspond to your chapter 10 # 13, 14, 29, 23 and 30. 

Please let me know ASAP if you have any particular requests (conecpts or questions to go over, etc).

Have a good weekend

TUTORIAL WEDNESDAY

Dear T59 students,

due to the threat received for tomorrow, to the cancellation of many biology classes (which probably means that several of you may decide to stay home-and rightly so), and to the possible confusion that may result from all of this, tomorrow (WEDNESDAY)'s tutorial will be cancelled and re-scheduled to a date that is convenient for everyone.

I am very sorry about this disruption, but I believe that in a situation like this one everyone should feel free to decide to stay away from campus without any consequences (such as missing out on information, etc, given in a tutorial). 

The topic of the week is problem set 4, and I am sure we'll find a time to go over it together. In any case, I will post explanations, hints and, eventually, answers by this weekend.

See you all next week, and be safe!
