The material corresponds to chapters 4, 5, 8, 9, and 12 of the book Cell and Molecular Biology by Karp (4th edition, De Boeck).
No lab session.
The course is entirely self-paced learning and based on the reference textbook. Three meetings with the professor are scheduled during the semester to monitor knowledge acquisition and address students’ misunderstandings. These meetings are arranged at the beginning of the semester in consultation with the students and take place informally in the professor’s office, paced according to the students, in a question-and-answer format.
Oral exam.
