Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory
  • Class attendance - 28 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 62 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to master the basic laboratory techniques used in biochemistry and deepen theoretical knowledge through real experiments.
Thanks to the acquired skills, graduates should master the basic laboratory techniques used in biochemistry. They can apply the acquired skills both in teaching students and in laboratory practice.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the basics of laboratory chemical techniques.

Assessment methods and criteria
Analysis of student's work activities (technical works)

Mastering the knowledge base of selected chapters in biochemistry with regard to the necessary input knowledge in the field of general, inorganic and organic chemistry, which are necessary for understanding biochemistry. Students will be acquainted with all the requirements that are mandatory for passing the course at the beginning of the semester.
