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.
