| Methodologies | Description |
| Laboratory practice | The teaching labs are designed to allow groups of students to work side by side in order to (i) better comprenhend certain issues of the syllabus and (ii) see “real” science as approachable, accessible and exciting. Each lab relies on a theoretical basis (teacher explanation + reading assignment) and a hands-on activity. Students shall pass a short test before the teaching lab in order to assess their comprehension of the reading assigned beforehand. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | The final exam may be composed by a multiple choice/true-false set, short-answer questions, and a set of genetic problems. |
| Supervised projects | Group work: students will be assigned a maximum of four sets of genetic problems, whose written solutions shall be handed in for evaluation. Additional group activities may be assigned for the sake of a better comprehension of particular issues. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Master class and reading groups: the teacher will explain the main contents of each lesson and will assign texts for further reading. Working with small groups will allow the exchange of ideas among students, under direct supervision of the lecturer. |
