Within the scope of  this course, students will acquire the fundamental knowledge to maintain and understand the topics covered in the second semester's Molecular II course by the end of the semester. It is one of the most essential and comprehensive courses in the Molecular Biology and Genetics department. Students are provied with detailed reviews throughout the semester and they are introduced  with other disciplines related to molecular genetics as general concept.

All students are required to attend 70% of the theoretical lectures and 80% of the laboratory lectures.
Students with a laboratory grade point average below 50 points will not be allowed to take the final exam.
The passing grade for the course is 50 points.
The allowed time for being late to class is the first 10 minutes.
The allowed time for being late to the exam is 20 minutes.
If anyone leaves the exam within the first 20 minutes, students who are late will not be admitted regardless of the 20-minute time limit.
Non-class activities (playing games, voice calls on the phone, texting on the phone, consuming strongly scented foods such as spices, garlic, and onions, personal hygiene, etc.) are prohibited during class.
