At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
The course aims to deepen basic knowledge in cell biology by addressing more specific questions and making links with pathology, as detailed in the content.
The Human Cell Biology course complements the Cell Biology course (SBIOB323) by deepening certain topics and presenting them in connection with pathobiology. It includes several learning activities (LAs).
The theoretical course covers different chapters:
The theoretical course is complemented by several learning activities (LAs):
Three sessions complement the lecture course:
Sessions 2 and 3 are not individually assessed, but students are expected to apply the knowledge gained during these sessions in the writing of their lab report (mini research article format, detailed instructions available on WebCampus).
The course is based on a lecture which is based on PowerPoint presentations with reference articles and small animations. Relevant websites are also visited during the lecture. A folder with articles, PowerPoint presentations and websites is available at the beginning of the course on the WebCampus platform. The practical sessions and other AAs allow the subject to be illustrated by more experimental approaches.
The evaluation is based both on end-of-term knowledge (exam) and largely on continuous assessment components (3 learning activities evaluated through a lab report, an article analysis report, and an assignment on the cell cycle).
1°) The theoretical course is assessed by an oral exam (one transversal question covering the course material and two definitions) — worth 11 out of 20 points.
2°) The evaluation also includes the lab session (writing a report in pairs in the format of a mini scientific article) — worth 3 out of 20 points.
3°) During the year, an individual scientific article reading report (3 out of 20 points) and an assignment on a self-study topic (cell cycle, 3 out of 20 points) will be completed. These are individual tasks.
Clear instructions for these deliverables are available on WebCampus.
All the above activities are mandatory. Failure to complete any of these activities will result in a maximum final grade of 7/20 for the course unit, until all activities have been completed by the student. If the student fails one or more activities and their overall average for the course unit is below 10/20, they may retake the failed activities during the second exam session (grades for passed activities will be retained).
