I think this is going to be an interesting class. Each student is required to write a paper and give a brief presentation on a topic related to Genetics and I think my topic will be about population genetics and how there is no sign of macro-evolution in present day populations.Edit. I also finished this at the end of the fall semester. The course hardly even scratched the surface of the wealth of information on genetics contained in this book. I'm probably going to keep it for future reference I think this is going to be an interesting class.

ExcerptTrue to its title, the theme of this book is genetic analysis. This theme emphasizesour belief that the best way to understand is by learning how geneticinference is made. On almost every page, we recreate the landmark experiments ingenetics and have the students analyze the data and draw conclusions as if they haddone the research themselves. This proactive process teaches students how to thinklike scientists.
The modes of inference and the techniques of analysis are the keysto future exploration.Similarly, quantitative analysis is central to the book because many of the new ideasin, from the original conception of the to such modern techniques asmapping, are based on quantitative analysis. The problems at the end of eachchapter provide students with the opportunity to test their understanding inquantitative analyses that effectively simulate the act of doing genetics. Preface.
