Directed discussion |
In small groups of 10 students, it will be discussed (1) current topics in cell biology and its implications, and (2) discuss and resolve theoretical and practical content related to the subject matters what each the student should worked on using the relevant literature. This activity exercises the skills B1, B4, B6, B11 and C1. |
Laboratory practice |
Some theoretical aspects related to the equipment and experimental methodologies and simple cytological techniques are acquired in the lab. Students should perform a memory where the goal of each practice, protocols followed and the results where the student must describe, draw and interpret observations in detail. Attendance at practices is necessary for evaluation. Circumstances that prevent attendance, must be notified/justified to the people in charge. In this section skills A4, A30, A31 are worked out. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
This category includes both learning assessments and the final exam on the theoretical and practical contents of the course, all of them based in multiple choice questions of two outputs and short answer questions. |
Workbook |
Two selected documents related to the introduction will be available to students at the begining of the course to perform a comprehensive reading. |
Online discussion |
A particular cell biology issue will be proposed in the on-line forum. Contribution and discussion will be expected from the students. In this section it will be exercised skills B1, B4, B8, B11. |
