Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is learning and understanding the biochemistry of nucleic acid and particularly the biochemical mechanisms by which the genetic information is replicated, expressed and regulated. the biochemical and molecular basis of the immune system, sensory organs, and certain other tissues (e.g., connective tissue, blood, muscle tissue, etc.) as well as the teaching of the biochemical basis of the respective diseases.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Generate new research ideas
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking

Student Assessment
Description
The evaluation of the students is performed with oral examination in the taught material at the end of the semester. Written multiple choice examination via e-learning for the laboratory classes at the end of the semester. Τhe "excellent" is included in a percentage of 10% of the oral exam grade. The inclusion of the laboratory performance in its total score is valid in the same and in the next semester.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Summative)
  • Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Summative)
  • Oral Exams (Summative)
  • Labortatory Assignment (Summative)
