Course Description
This course is an introduction to the fundamental characteristics of life on earth. After completing this course students are able to: explain the major structural characteristics of the macromolecules, membranes and organelles and how this is related to their function; describe the general mechanisms and concepts by which cellular behavior is regulated, i.e. growth, cell division, development, metabolism, responses to internal and external signals; have a basic understanding of, and can work with, the basic principles of inheritance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level, including the relationship between genotype and phenotype in parents and their, offspring, as well as its implication in biology and medicine; describe, compare and contrast, the general mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription and mRNA translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; explain the theory and practice of recombinant DNA technological techniques, such as PCR, cloning, DNA sequencing and DNA microarray; obtain basic skills in reflective essay writing, scientific writing, oral presentations, peer feedback and group work.

Course Description
Under the supervision of a faculty member, students conduct an independent research project in the field of biological sciences. Based on initial observations, students write a proposal in which they pose the question they wish to address. Students then collect and analyze data, and write a research paper. Their first submission is reviewed by two instructors and a peer reviewer. Students revise and improve their first submission and submit the final paper. Students present their findings orally in a symposium that is open to the public. * Contracted independent study is for 20 hours per week.

Course Description
This course introduces the multi-disciplinary subject of forensic science and forensic medicine. Forensic science involves the utilization of a broad spectrum of scientific principles and analysis to provide answers to issues of law and in evidence. Forensic medicine involves the medico-legal investigation of death. This course pulls in experts from the different fields to expound on the intricacies of forensic science on a multi-disciplinary level. These experts share the recent developments in crime scene investigation using the latest scientific technology, and in areas where forensic science techniques are rapidly gaining prominence in our local courts. Other topics include various aspects of the law such as criminal law, procedure and evidence. Past court cases of crime are discussed for their scientific value, and not for voyeuristic purposes. Students have to treat cases discussed with respect. Photography and any form of recording are not allowed.
