Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to provide students with knowledge enabling them to understand processes in living organisms, i.e. in humans, even at the smallest levels invisible to the eye. At the same time, students will get to know various procedures and methods that they will encounter in the course of their lives or directly in their profession, and which are precisely based on molecular biology.
The knowledge gained in the lectures will enable students to follow up on other related subjects of the study program. At the same time, it will enable them to have an informed orientation in their future profession and in life when assessing specific solved problems somehow related to living organisms, including humans.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
unspecified
During the semester, each student prepares one written essay - a seminar paper. Its submission in the written version and oral presentation are necessary to obtain credit and admission to the exam. Active involvement of the student in teaching, individual preparation for seminars and 80% participation. Seminars follow the lectures thematically. Student active work in seminars is based on the following model: each student prepares and submits to the lecturer for review at a predetermined date and then orally presents a seminar paper on a given topic in front of the other students, following on from the material discussed in the lectures. This seminar work is then discussed in a panel discussion with the entire student group, with the date and specific topic being known to everyone in advance, and the students, therefore, prepare in detail for the entire discussion. In this way, everyone deepens their knowledge and, on the other hand, trains how to prepare and present professional work and how to communicate with a professional audience
