Nucleic acids and flow of information in biological systems. Information storage and transmission by nucleic acids, as well as new molecular technologies will be discussed. Registration in one of the tutorial sessions is mandatory. Note: Students that have a SDF in BCH210H1 are not permitted to enrol in BCH311H1 until a final passing grade (50%) appears on the transcript. BCH2** WITH COURSE EXCLUSION TO BCH210H1 meets the prerequisite requirement for BCH311H1 .

This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.

Per-term figures stay hidden until each term clears five contributors. 3 observations can support one honest number; they cannot support 3.

Assessment weightingNo syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this offering. Contribute yours and the breakdown appears here.

Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 3 observations across terms would be false precision.

Instructor-level detailAverages are not split by instructor. At these sample sizes the difference between sections is noise, not signal.

Archive coveragePyko holds no past paper for this course. We do not host or distribute course files in any case; the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed.

The other 28 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names BCH311H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what BCH311H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
