Its unique features include: -- A case-study approach, based on analysis of classic and recent papers and discussion of the lives of the principal investigators concerned -- Introductory essays which review the key concepts in each course unit -- Over 180 questions, with answers, which test factual knowledge derived from each unit -- Over 140 problems, including scenarios from history, mythology, movies, and TV series, which test students' abilities to apply molecular genetic concepts. Solutions and strategies for the problems are provided in the Solutions Manual and Workbook, prepared by the author, which contains annotated solutions to every problem and scenario presented in Discovering Molecular Genetics. Several of the actual solutions that students taking the course have submitted as answers to problems and scenarios given as take-home exams are provided in an appendix. This novel, fully illustrated textbook offers teachers a ground-breaking but fully validated 1-quarter or 1-semester syllabus for use by life science majors (microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or biology) or pre-med students. It is thoroughly recommended for course adoption. Sample copies are available to teachers on application. |
