Another common complaint was that the course has no textbook and it would seem that the class has a rather narrow scope. Professor Schreiber proceeded to explain where the class is going--what is intrinsically special and interesting about each individual, and seeming about each individual, and seemingly esoteric, protein we will be studying the next few lectures, and how they all fit into the larger picture...
