BY 531: Advanced Recombinant DNA Technology

Taken Spring 2009. Instructor. Dr. A. Bej. This class can be taken as an elective or if schedule conflicts prevent you from taking the Forensic DNA course. Overall, this class is very informative especially if you plan on going into DNA. It is also an excellent companion class to take along with Bio Methods in Forensic Science. The key to doing well in this class is to attend. The tests are comprehensive and mostly note based. There is a required text, that is helpful to understanding the material but not necessary if you take good notes. Graduate students are also required to write a 8-10 page paper from a list of related topics as well as an additional homework assignment. The class has a standard grading scale, and Dr. Bej is excellent at returning grades on time. Dr. Bej is also very willing to meet with you outside of class if you have any questions.
