Intro Bio

Welcome to the Fall 2018 Intro Bio Web site, which serves as a common site for both:
Biol. UN2005: Introductory Biology: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and
Biol. UN2401: Contemporary Biology: Biochemistry and Genetics.

The lectures and exams in both courses are the same. The lectures are presented twice on each lecture day at:

10:10 to 11:25 AM (417 IAB) and 4:10 to 5:25 PM (301 Pupin).

Students enrolled in either course may attend either lecture (or both) on any given day. Midterm exams will start at the 4:10 PM class time (4:10 to 6:00 PM), but there are later times for students with conflicts. Details TBA.

The site is now completely revised for 2018, including FAQs for new students. If you want to access the complete and essential information for Intro Bio from '17 please visit "Course Menu 17" and "Lecture Schedule 17".

For questions about exams, recitations, grading, etc. for 2018, see the Course Descriptions (Syllabi) on the "Course Menu 18" page.

Exams have been scheduled for 9/27, 10/18, 11/15, and 12/18. Please make note of these dates when making travel arrangements.

All students registered for UN2005 must register for recitation (UN2015). There will be optional recitations for UN2401 students; UN2401 students do not need to sign up for these.

The Piazza Fall '18 site is the same for both UN2401 and UN2005. A click on 'Piazza' on the left menu or either of the following links will take you to the current Piazza site:
