THE T54 DEAL! (Tuesday)

Thanks for a great session, T54 members!

Remember that this is not written in stone-it can be modified as required.

Each week, T54 people will:
- attempt the 'easy' questions assigned
- review their notes to make sure that everything is clear. If not, ask for help, and/or bring it up in tutorial
- quickly double-check/go over/review 'easy' questions in tutorial
- work on harder questions and/or extra questions in tutorial
- notify the TA of any requests, problem, etc

I will:
- ask Dr Beatty about answers to problem sets
- provide extra practice questions
- help out with both 'easy' and harder questions-emphasis on harder questions in tutorial
- try to accomodate all requests
- check the 'comments' once a day and reply as required

Let me know if I forgot anything or if I got something wrong!


FOR NEXT WEEK:

questions that I'd consider 'easy': chapter 10 q 1,2,5
questions that I'd consider a bit harder: ch10 q3, problem set 2
questions that are not super hard, but a bit long-ish: ch10 q4



Have a great week

T51 (Monday) DEAL

Thanks for being such a lively and participatory bunch, T51 students!

Monday we agreed that.... (and feel free to correct me if I am wrong):
- I will provide as many extra practice questions as I can;
- everybody will bring in any relevant practice questions (old midterms, etc) they come across;
- in preparation for the tutorial, everyone will go through their class notes and take note of unclear points (ASK!)
- everyone will also go through the assigned questions and take care of the 'easy' ones
- in tutorial, we will focus on the harder questions, on extra questions and on unclear points that will come up
(This does not mean that you can't ask for clarification regarding an 'easy' question!)

FOR NEXT WEEK:

questions that I'd consider 'easy': chapter 10 q 1,2,5
questions that I'd consider a bit harder: ch10 q3, problem set 2
questions that are not super hard, but a bit long-ish: ch10 q4

I have added some links to transcription, translation, and "lac operon stuff". Regarding the lac operon, BE AWARE: for the mutants, the book and the course use an old nomenclature, and some of the links may use the new one. The differences are explained.

Have a great week!
