2023 Lecture Outlines

Each link below contains an outline of the material covered in each lecture and pdf copies of any handouts. These will appear every day right after the lecture.



There were some topics not covered in 421 that will be a large part of 422. To help with that, here are the slides from previous lectures in 421 that you might want to look through. Here is the lecture from Dr. Tolan on Vitamins & Coenzymes, with links to the recordings of this lectures:

Echo360 for the Vitamin lecture from Fall421-A1 video (it includes some of carbohydrates).


In case you are wanting to brush up on your carbohydrates from BI 421, please review these slides.
