Current Topics in Biophysics (BPHS 2090)

York University

Fall 2015 – Course Website


Basic Information 

  • This course is primarily taught by Prof. Stan Jerzak. See York’s corresponding moodle page for additional info. 
  • Prof. Chris Bergevin will be covering the F15 lectures for 11/10-12/3.

Class Notes 

  • 12.03.15 – Sensory biophysics
  • 12.01.15 – Midterm
    • The exam will cover material from the lectures notes of 11/10-26. Anything on the slides (and discussed in class) is fair game. The questions will be a mix of conceptual and quantitative problems (thus bringing a calculator may be helpful, though it’s not necessary). Math-wise, you will not need to solve differential equations per se, but there will be a reasonable degree of “math”. Lastly, feel free to bring a single two-sided sheet if you want, upon which you can put anything (e.g., formulae, graphs, notes, , smiley faces, etc…).
