Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course "Application of molecular biology and genetics" will be devoted to the integrated practical application of the concepts seen in the General genetics and Molecular biology classes. This exercise will include the collection of biological material, the molecular analyze in the laboratory and the interpretation of results.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of this class, the student must have assimilated the theoretical bases of the most common techniques of molecular biology and genetics. He should also be able to understand and perform a series of techniques in the laboratory. He should be able to interpret the experimental results obtained during the practical course in the context of genetics.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

please see Study Programmes 2020-2021

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The collection of biological material will be done as part of a visit in the field. Molecular analyzes will include a theoretical part describing the main techniques which will then be applied in a practical session. The aim will be to extract and analyze nucleic acids. A last part will include analysis and interpretation of data.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Assessment methods:
Attendance at practical lab work is compulsory. People in quarantine will have to do a replacement activity. The evaluation of the practical lab part will be composed of notes resulting from the continuous evaluation carried out during the laboratories (through reports and / or interrogations and / or questions before, during and after the labs) and of a question asked during the exam session. Students who do not participate in practical work are automatically adjourned to the first and second session.
The evaluation of the other parts will be done through a written open book evaluation using the eCampus tools.
The final grade will be established as the average between the two parts. Partial waivers based on the first session will be granted for the second session.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions )

- Remote

written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND written work

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote
