Back at it, S2

Semester 1 was a success, with 61% of students earning an A or B. Pretty good for a hard class.
Semester 2 began today with the introduction of pf the pBLU genetic engineering lab. In this extended lab, students are challenged to genetically modify E. Coli bacteria. We will test the bacteria to see if it worked. This is a challenging experiment using specific techniques. It requires serious attention to detail, and serious study time.
The attached notes explain some of what we read in class.
