                                   Education Committee Head Marion Magdamit Jr. leads the BIO 30 Tutorials discussion

Steadfast in its goal of fostering the appreciation of Genetics, The UPLB Genetics Society conducted its first BIO 30 (Genetics) tutorials for Academic Year 2023-2024 last September 26, 2023, from 7 to 9 PM, in partnership with the UPLB Learning Resource Center (LRC) at the LRC Learning Hub, Student Union Building in UPLB.

Education Committee Head Marion Magdamit, Jr. and Education Committee member and Genetics Camp Steering Head Hannah Corrine Cantaros headed the BIO 30 tutorials, in which they reviewed the first to the third lesson of the course material in order to help students excel in their upcoming first lecture exam in BIO 30. Among the topics covered are the science of heredity and variation, the chromosomal basis of heredity, and gene segregation and interaction.

At the end of the two-hour session, participants of the BIO 30 tutorials were handed electronic certificates and learning materials. Evaluation sheets of the tutorials were also distributed online.

One of the attendees, BS Biology student Clarence Ong, shared her experience during the event: “The tutorial was a big help in my review for the upcoming Genetics exam. It is quite a challenging subject, but the discussion by the lecturers and review materials provided in the event managed to ease my worries about the exam”.

Since the resumption of face-to-face classes, the BIO 30 Tutorials is conducted in person every semester to aid students currently taking the genetics course in reviewing for their upcoming BIO 30 examinations.
