ALERTS

RENOWNED HNRS 70A COURSE TO BE OFFERED ONLINE THIS SUMMER!

UCLA Summer Sessions will offer distinguished professor Bob Goldberg's Honors Collegium 70A course online this coming summer. Entitled Genetic Engineering in Medicine, Agriculture, and Law, HNRS 70A is designed primarily for non-science students and gives an overview of the science of genetics and the sometimes-controversial legal and ethical issues raised by the use of genetic engineering. Topics covered include genetically modified food, human cloning, stem cells, and DNA testing in crime labs. Video lectures featuring custom animations developed by a team of professionals at the School of Theater, Film and Television make the material easy to understand and review.

Discussion sections are led by Dr. Goldberg himself, using cutting-edge video conferencing technology. This is a truly unique opportunity to study one-on-one with one of UCLA’s most esteemed research scientists and teachers.

The course carries full Honors credit, and will fulfill an Honors Collegium requirement. It is also a Life Science GE with lab/demo credit.
