BIO2B03 - Textbook Chapters?
The Course Outline only lists the textbook that's required: Molecular Cell Biology - 6th Edition. Apart from that, it only provides some outlined dates with "Concepts" that will be covered. Does anyone know the actual Chapters that will be covered in BIO2B03?.. Just thought I'd get a head-start on my readings

Protip: You can get a 12 in the class without opening the textbook. It's a waste of time. I had a .pdf version and I only ever opened the file once. The lecture slides will be more than enough. Don't read, just enjoy your summer while it lasts.

It took my hours of web crawling to find it, and even then it was an older edition (5th I think). I have it on my desktop computer in Hamilton, I should be getting back to it tomorrow.

Attached (from this year's summer course)
However, they're pushing the 7th edition (published May 2012), so this year they might give 6th/7th edition pages, instead of 5th/6th
And they're right, the textbook is excessively detailed (and bio 2B03 is already really heavy on details), longwinded sentences, and they (or at least Dr. Dej) won't give questions based on it. Everything is on her slides.
