DATE February 11, 2010

Course Change Form: A course change form is being submitted for

MBB426 - Immune system I: Basis of Innate and Adaptive Immunity.

student evaluations over the years have Clearly indicated that the

work load and amount of content in MBB426 exceeds that of other

400 level MBB courses. Meetings with the course instructor have

determined

that any decrease in content or workload would

negatively impact

the integrity of the course. MBB therefore

proposes

to change the number of units of MBB426 from 3 to 4 and

to Increase the number of lecture hours a week from 3 to 4.

Program Change Form: MBB323-lntroduction to Physical

Biochemistry is currently a required course for all MBB majors. The

department has determined that while is it essential that all MBB

majors be exposed to the core content of MBB323 as part of their

MBB program, it is not essential that all MBB majors be required to

study the more advanced aspects of MBB323. The MBB department

has identified the core content of MBB323 and has determined that

this core content can be Included In existing required MBB courses

without significantly impacting the content of those existing courses.

MBB 323 will remain an important part of our undergraduate

program,

but as an elective rather than a required course and the

content of MBB323 will be adjusted to reflect an emphasis on the

more advanced aspects of Physical Biochemistry.

Since

MBB323 would no longer be a required course, Chem360 can be

removed

as an alternative to MBB323 for MBB majors. Chem360 had

largely been included as an alternative to MBB323 for historical

reasons.

such an extenl Ihat students should not receive credil tllr both c()urses

If so. this should be

noted in the prerequisite.

Rationale: The workload for students in this course is already reflective of a 4 unit rather than a 3 unit

course and it is not possible to reduce the amount of material in this course without compromising the

integrity of the course. Adding the extra unit hour will not only ensure that students receive the credit

that is appropriate for the workload and amount of material, but also ensure that students are aware

coming

into the course that the workload is more than that of a 3 unit, 400 level MBB course. Adding

the extra hour of lecture per week will insure that students will be able to have all the material

presented to them in the most effective way.
