Teaching methods

laboratory courses

Assessment methods

The first exercise is devoted to learning about safety in     biochemical laboratory. Students also write the entrance test, whose successful completion is a prerequisite for participation in the exercise. Before each next exercise is a written test verifies the student's preparation for the job. In all tests, including entrance test, the student must correctly answer at least 50% of the questions.

Language of instruction

Czech
