Recitations

The Techniques and Discussion sessions provide an in-depth view of current technologies used in the biochemistry field that are briefly outlined in the lectures. Recitation class time focuses on technologies described in the methods sections of scientific papers that students are required to read. The table below includes an example set of notes taken by a student in the course for each Techniques and Discussion session (TD#).
