Attendance is required at all four sessions. If illness or class conflicts prevent your attending a particular session, discuss an alternate assignment with me. The elective assignments described below do not satisfy this requirement.

There are no required assignments for students who attend all four classes. Students may elect to write a paragraph on some aspect of the class sessions or other biochemical topic of interest to them. Students may use the resources of this web site, other web resources, textbooks or any other scholarly source for these assignments, but should indicate the source of their information. Students who return three assignments before the last class period will be eligible to join other active students at a pizza party.
