Teaching methods
The course is organized in frontal lessons.
Scientific articles from international journals will be provided.
The frontal lessons will be supplemented by laboratory activities.
Assessment methods
The final exam consists of an oral examination on both disciplines of the course (Biology, Genetics and Molecular Biology). The achievement of knowledge objectives, the acquisition of an integrated view of the contents of both Biology and Genetics as well as the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to the biomedical problems will be evaluated. The final degree will be the weighted average of the three evaluations.
An exhaustive preparation on all the topics of the course and the ability to connect the different parts of the course combined with a use of specific terminology will be awarded excellence. The preparation on a large number of topics, but mostly mechanical and/ or mnemonic way, a not articulated synthesis and analysis skills and/ or a correct language, but not always appropriate lead to discrete evaluations. Training gaps and inappropriate language will be assessed negatively.
