Editing BIOL 130

'''BIOL 130''', also known as '''Molecular Biology and Genetics''', is an introductory-level biology course typically taught by [[Stuart Allison]] or [[Judith Thorn|Judy Thorn]]. However, at this point, [[Matthew Jones-Rhoades]] has pretty much replaced [[Stuart Allision]] as professor of this class. 

==Course Description==
===Official Course Description===
"This course will cover the creation, manipulation and modification of genes. We will cover Mendelian and molecular genetics and the central dogma of molecular biology - DNA replication, transcription and translation. Laboratory exercises will be used to illustrate principles and processes, and to develop bench skills and familiarity with the scientific method."<ref>[http://www.knox.edu/x1750.xml Online Course Catalog]</ref>

===Credits and Prerequisites===
'''Credit Earned:''' The course is worth a single credit.
 
'''Foundations/Key Competencies:''' The course fulfills the [[Foundation Requirements#Courses Meeting the Math and Natural Sciences Requirement|Math and Natural Sciences]] Foundation requirement.

'''Major/Minor Requirement''': The course is required as part of the biology major, and may be taken as one of two introductory courses needed for the biology minor.

'''Prerequisites''': 
*[[CHEM 101]] (General Chemistry I)
-or-
*Permission of the instructor

==Course Schedule==
Biol 130 is typically offered once a year during the Winter Term. One might ask why 130 is offered before 120; this is to allow those that have AP credit in Biol 120 to take either 210 or another upper-division class during Spring Term.
