Start the page name for a department with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the Topic: namespace. Wikiversity departments can be "contained" (linked to) by multiple schools. If two schools link to the same department they should cooperate to develop the department. See: Wikiversity:Naming conventions.

Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry!

Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living beings.

This department gathers and organizes contents on Biochemistry. Biochemistry being a laboratory-based subject, it will be hard for you to do anything practical with this.

Department news [edit]

  • Date founded - April 24, 2007

Developed a curriculum of sorts, set more like a collection of themes and resource links, which hopefully can help organize your thoughts about biochemistry. Improve it.

Courses [edit]

Biochemistry for the Chemistry Course is discussed here.

Learning materials and learning projects [edit]

Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Learning projects [edit]

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
