DISCUSSION SECTION AND LABORATORY SCHEDULE A Lab Manual should be obtained from the UCLA Bookstore. It is important that you attend each laboratory at your designated time; there is no provision to make up a missed lab session. Packaged with the Course reader is a CD-ROM entitled “The Nature and Properties of Biologically Important Molecules” which runs on either a PC or Mac format. You are expected to familiarize yourself with this material as only limited lecture time is available to cover this basic material. During the week 1 lab you will have an opportunity to clarify any questions you have concerning material on the CD-ROM with your TA. Midterm 1 will contain a certain number of questions on this material. WEEK WEEK OF TOPIC ASSIGNMENT /SESSION DUE DATE 1 Oct 3 Lab 1: Introduction to Scientific Method; Biomolecules CD-ROM Review Lab Report dueWeek 2 2 Oct 10 Discussion: Article 1/Due Week 3 3 Oct 17 Lab 2: Pigments of Photosynthesis Lab Report/Due Week 4 4 Oct 24 Discussion: Article 2/Due Week 5 5 Oct 31 Lab 3: Metabolism Lab Report/Due Week 6 6 Nov 7 Discussion: Article 3/Due Week 7 7 Nov 14 Lab 4: Rat Dissection In-class assignment 8 Nov 21 Discussion: Article 4/Due Week 9 9 Nov 28 Discussion: No assignment. 10 Dec 5 Lab 5: Histology and Microscopy Identify unknown slides in lab. Please note that with the exception of weeks 7 & 10 (assignment completed in lab) all other assignments will be due at the BEGINNING OF THE DISCUSSION SESSION THEFOLLOWING WEEK. Failure to turn in the assignment at the above time will result in a LATE PENALTY (2 point deduction PER DAY for every day beyond the due date). Questions for assignments based on the Scientific American articles will be given out in class at the beginning of the week in which the assignment is to be carried out; thus, depending on the timing of your particular discussion section, you will have at least one week to complete the assignment before the due date. Copies of the question sets will also be posted on the course web-site. During the discussion sections your T.A. will review aspects of the lecture material which may require clarification, go over Scientific American articles assigned for that week (you should have read these beforehand as the T.A. may ask you questions), and discuss answers to previously graded assignments.
