Dear colleagues,

I am going to give a course on Basic Genetics to 5th semester undergraduate students of Biology Department. After have been attended a great presentation from Prof. F. Sagın in Ege University, decided to use TBL. My course will be 3 hours per week and I shared my course content below. I would like to know previous experiences and suggestions from colleagues who are experienced on TBLing on Genetics courses.

With best regards, Cenk ARAL
