Laboratory Exercises for an Undergraduate Course in Cell Biology

正在制定一系列实验室练习， 为学生提供广泛的实践经验， 目前在细胞生物学研究中使用。的目标 这些练习是为了让学生有足够的经验， 这样他们就能超越技术， 正在审查的原则和实际应用， 这些技术。 为此，实验室被组织成 持续两到四周的小型项目部分。 在每个 部分，学生在一个单独的 准备. 轻微的变化（例如，隔离不同 质粒，测定不同的标记酶）， 每个学生都是独一无二的，提供了一种发现感， 成就 对这些结果的讨论丰富了 整体经验，并提供了一个讨论的格式 这些技术的应用。 这些的耦合 本实验室格式的技术将帮助学生体验 科学研究的兴奋。

A series of laboratory exercises are being developed that provide students extensive hands-on experience with techniques that are currently used in cell biology research. The goal of these exercises is to give students sufficient experience with these techniques so they can look beyond the techniques and see the principles being examined and practical applications for these techniques. To this end, the labs are organized into mini-project sections lasting two-four weeks. During each section, students do several sequential steps on a single preparation. Slight variations (e.g., isolation of different plasmids, assay for different marker enzyme) make the results of each student unique, providing a sense of discovery and accomplishment. Discussion of these results enriches the overall experience and provides a format for discussing applications of these techniques. The coupling of these techniques to this lab format will help students experience the excitement of scientific research.
