BIOL341 - Introductory Molecular Biology Laboratory class average = 83 This course was very well organized and content-wise not very difficult if you are familiar with molecular genetics. The syllabus is not really different in the summer (Bioinformatics presentation + a final report on recombinant plasmid), but the fact that you can get over it within 6 weeks without any other course load should convince you enough to take this course during the summer. The class runs three times a week (T,W,Th), and each session about 4 hours long - this means for Wednesday and Thursday classes, you get less than 24 hours to do winter session's 1 week equivalent of lab work. I noticed that the first PCR primer assignment tends to scare people away, but the assignments later on are pretty much manageable within few hours. The series of lectures and experiments pretty much prepares you for the report that is due at the end of the term (+occasional lectures on bioinformatics) - in fact, the goo
