Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry
Research and/or reading course. This course allows a student to study an area of biochemistry in much greater detail than is usual in most courses. The format is usually a reading/tutorial in which the student carries out directed reading and meets with the tutor at regular intervals for discussion and further guidance. Term papers or presentations may be used for evaluation purposes. A mature attitude towards learning is essential, as the course often requires independent study and research. Students who have a particular interest in any specific area of biochemistry are encouraged to meet with the faculty members to explore the possibilities of arranging a mutually satisfactory topic. Prerequisites: At least two of BIOCH 410, 415, 420, 425, 430, 441, 455, or 465 and consent of the Department. Available only to students in the Biochemistry Specialization or Honors programs in the final year of their program.
