BIOL CH X 401
Introduction to Protein Structure: From Disease to Therapy
4.0 units Proteins are involved in almost every physiological process that occurs within the body. They are necessary for countless metabolic pro‑ cesses, including converting glucose into energy, carrying oxygen in your blood, and recognizing and destroying foreign pathogens. Know‑ ing the structure of the proteins that perform these essential functions is paramount to understanding how they work normally and why mutations lead to disease. Although proteins are involved in innumer‑ able diseases, they may also be key in the development of therapeutic treatments. By understanding protein structure, scientists can design small molecules and even novel proteins that can treat a variety of diseases. This course provides an introduction to protein and nucleic acid structure as it relates to the essential functions that these mac‑ romolecules perform within cells. Lectures focus on how protein structure relates to a variety of common human pathologies and on the therapies that are used to treat these diseases. Prerequisite(s): LIFESCI XL 3 or LIFESCI XL 7A

PATH X 401
Introduction to Molecular Diagnostics, Pharmacogenetics, and Personalized Medicine
4.0 units Variations in human DNA over generations result in evolution and beneficial adaptations. However, some changes in human DNA that cause genetic variation occasionally result in genetic disorders. The field of molecular diagnostics focuses on the development of tests that aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease, as well as predict disease risk. The information gained by this type of diagnostics can identify the abnormal molecules that signify the presence or potential for disease in individuals. As a result, clinicians can now prescribe drugs or other therapies that target the specific abnormal function. The emerging field of pharmacogenetics aims at predicting the drug response based on an individual’s genetic profile, thus helping clini‑ cians to tailor effective treatments. This course overviews the basic principles of molecular diagnostics and pharmacogenetics and the applications of the emerging technologies in personalized medicine. Students learn about the clinical applications of molecular diagnostic in patients with cancer, inherited disease, and infectious disease. The course concludes with detailed discussions on personalized medicine and the pros, cons, ethics, challenges, strategies, and public policy related to this emerging field. Prerequisite(s): Introductory courses in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry, or equivalent coursework.

Placement Exam
Students enrolling in this course need to complete the math placement exam before the first class. Please sign up for the math placement exam through ALEKS. Each student will be charged a $20 fee (non‑refundable) which covers 12 months of access to the Prep and Learning Module, which is a resource for refreshing your math skills.
Exam Length: 30 Questions
Time: You should plan to complete the placement exam within an uninterrupted 2‑hour sitting • If you score 80% or higher, we recommend that you enroll in Calculus
MATH XL 31A • If you score between 60% ‑ 79%, we recommend that you enroll in
Pre‑Calculus MATH XL 1 • If you score less than 60%, we recommend that you enroll in an algebra course • After taking the placement exam, you are given the opportunity to review certain topics through targeted learning exercises in the Prep and Learning Module.
Retake the exam, if necessary
• After engaging with the Prep and Learning Module for at least 3 hours, you can take the placement exam again • The retake exam will become available 24 hours after the initial exam was completed. • You will have access to the Prep and Learning Module for 12 months after taking the initial exam.
MATH XL 31A
Differential and Integral Calculus
4.0 units This course covers differential calculus, its applications, and the introduction to integration. c Prerequisite(s): MATH XL 1 Precalculus with a grade of C‑ or better, or three‑and‑a‑half years of high school mathematics, including some coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
Reg# 387255 Fee: $935
No refund after 28 June. A Remote 11 mtgs Tuesday, 6:30‑9:30pm, June 21‑July 26 Remote Classroom Saturday, 9am‑12pm, June 25‑July 23 Remote Classroom Students who are not qualified to take this course should enroll in MATH XL 1 Precalculus. Enrollment/class participation contingent on completing the ALEKS placement exam. Visitors not permitted. Enrollment deadline: June 22. c & Esmaail Nikjeh, MS 4.0 units This course covers the different applications of both differential and integral calculus to representative problems characteristic of the public and private economic sectors. Major topics covered in differ‑ ential calculus include optimization, applications of the first and second derivatives that will find the optimized and inflection values of various functions, integral calculus, and procedures for finding either area under one curve or between two curves. Students are expected to apply the relevant techniques from differential and integral calculus in a wide variety of real‑world contexts related to the prob‑ lem‑solving needs of public and private sector organizations. Upon completing this course, students should be able to take first deriva‑ tives of functions to find minimum and maximum values and take second derivatives to find inflection points of a function. Students are expected to understand the fundamental theorem of calculus and its implications for applied real‑world problems. Prerequisite(s): MATH 903 Intermediate Algebra for College Students or equivalent.
