Teaching methods
laboratory practise, class discussion + homeworks
Students will individually study the topics and fill in the following protocols: DNA replication. Expresssion of genetic information. Human karyotype. Autosomal and gonosomal inheritance.
Assessment methods
All practical classes are mandatory.
Students will bring their own writing materials and printed protocol. Download protocol for each practical class from the Study materials, print it and study it in advance. Lab shoes, lab coats and disposable gloves are not required.
Requirements for course completion: full attendance in the classes, activity in the classes, all protocols completed and checked, even the four protocols intended for homework (DNA replication; Expression of genetic information; Human karyotype; Autosomal and gonosomal inheritance).
Potential absences are addressed individually and must be excused by the Office for Studies within 5 working days from the beginning of the absence and introduced in the IS. Student is required to write an essay in the length of 2 pages on a given topic in case of excused absence.
