During this last class I have connected a lot of past knowledge with information during the class. When we went over translation and transcription, it brought me right back to my genetics class that I took last spring. Also when we were talking about the certain repair mechanisms I was able to connect them with previous knowledge on repair mechanisms from genetics. Also, in genetics we went over all the complexes that were involved in these processes and they have come back into our education in biochemistry. It is very interesting how all these science classes are building blocks to each other.
You are so right that we can make connections with genetics and biochem. I am taking both of the courses this semester and have found hearing the same material from another professor to be extremely helpful with fully grasping the topics.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so nice to take both classes at the same time and be able to study and understand them in unison.
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly. We all have realized how Biochem has been connecting various concepts and synthesizing a cohesive understanding of complicated systems. Yet, taking Genetics at the same time, like Becky said, has been incredibly helpful. While many of the connections being made are to past knowledge, taking the courses simultaneously has allowed connections to be made in real-time!
