DNA structure and function
These powerpoint slides provide an introduction to the structure and function of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in relation to organisms, genes, gene expression and protein synthesis. It is organised for a 50 min lecture.
Nucleic acid structure
These slides provide an introduction to the structure and function of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in relation to organisms, genes, gene expression and protein synthesis. It is a basic introduction to DNA, genes and genomes, the chemistry of nucleic acid structure and its various conformations.
The slides have a quiz at the end which can be used to evaluate learning outcomes at the end of the lecture. The resource is used in teaching fundamental concepts to first year undergraduate students in
Oncogenic Viruses
The resource is a series of Powerpoint slides on how cancer can be triggered by viruses capable of transforming normal cells into oncogenic cells capable of excessive proliferation. It gives an overview of viral replication in host cells and uses examples of the Human Pappilloma Virus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and their role in the development of carcinomas. The presentation is created by Dr. Momna Hejmadi as part of her cancer biology course to first and second year undergraduates in

Interpreting Feedback
It can be used in lots of ways including: interpreting feedback from tutors on written work; avoiding common deficiencies in your writing and therefore avoiding the need for the comments to be written; using it as a checklist before handing written work in; for peer assessment of written work
Federal Government
An introduction and overview of the structure of the U.S. government. A high school senior discovers the makeup of our federal government and how the three branches of government work. This is a very old video and so students might be turned-off by some of the outfits. It is a 15 minute video. Students would benefit from a map of Washington DC. Not much depth in this video.
The Supreme Court: The Judicial Branch
The U.S. Constitution separates the federal powers into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The purpose of this is to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This two minute video is an overview and is best as a quick introduction.
Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teachers
How to deal with students how stutter. What causes it and how to help those who stutter as well as a lot of important statistics. Good for all teachers to watch.
Introduction to Philosophy II
This course is designed as a "topics-based" introduction to philosophy. What this means is that instead of working through the history of philosophy focusing on great historical figures and their views on different topics, we will focus on great philosophical topics and look at what historical and contemporary writers have said about them. Topics to be addressed will include the existence of God, the relation between the mind and the body, human freedom, and the foundations of morality.
Introduction to dynamics : document transcript
This is a document transcript about Introduction to Dynamics (Edexcel HN Unit: Engineering Science (NQF L4)). The basic concepts associated with some elements of dynamic engineering systems and calculations are discussed. The theory associated with linear and angular motion, energy and simple harmonic motion are outlined with sample calculations for each topic.

Web Design and Objects - Introduction
This reading material forms part of the "Introduction" topic in the Web Design and Objects module.
Vitamin village
The Vitamin Village is a web-based eLearning package developed between 2001 and 2008 to incorporate vitamins A, C, D, E and K, as well as a basic introduction to antioxidants. It is mainly used in first year teaching of vitamins, but also in the 2nd and 3rd years of the 3 year BSc (Hons) Nutrition and 4 year MNutr Nutrition degrees taught within the School of Biosciences. The creation and development involved staff within Nutritional Sciences (Drs John Brameld, Zoe Daniel & Tim Parr and Professo
