| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
The aim of the course is to prepare students, without basic knowledge in several of these topics: molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, human physiology and anatomy, to enable them following Masters’ courses offered by Molecular Health Science and other related Masters’ programmes. This is course containing specific elements of cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology, knowledge of which is required for further studies. |
| Detailed description of content |
The aim of the course is to prepare students to be able to follow Masters’ courses in biology in MatBio and ChemBio. Themes that will be covered

| Course material and reading list |
The exact currciulum will be announced on the Moodle site for the course |
| Overall plan and expected work effort |
Lectures will be given as recorded videos (Flipped class room) and following discussion of relevant topics from the curriculum (including problem solving and multiple-choice tests). 5 ECTS corresponds to 135 hours:
- in total 135 h |

| Evaluation and feedback |
The course includes formative evaluation based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s). Students are expected to provide constructive critique, feedback and viewpoints during the course if it is needed for the course to have better quality. Every other year at the end of the course, there will also be an evaluation through a questionnaire in SurveyXact. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course. |

| Form of examination |
Active, regular attendance, and satisfactory participation
Active participation is defined as: The student must participate in course-related activities (e.g., workshops, seminars, field excursions, process study groups, working conferences, supervision groups, and feedback sessions). Regular attendance is defined as: - The student must be present for a minimum of 75 percentof the lessons. Satisfactory participation is defined as: - e.g., oral presentations (individually or in a group), peer reviews, mini projects, tests, and planning of a course session. Assessment: Pass/Fail |
| Form of Re-examination |
Individual oral exam without time for preparation
Time allowed for the exam including time used for assessment: 15 minutes. Permitted support and preparation materials: None. Assessment: Pass/Fail Moderation: Internal co-assessor. |

| Examination and assessment criteria (implemented) |
Regarding the ordinary exam Satisfactory active participation is defined as: - The student must during the course hand in tests (of which 80 percent must be approved) - The student must participate in the discussion sessions Regarding the re-exam The oral exam begins with a 5-minute presentation from the student based on a given question drawn by lottery. Assessment criterias for both exams: During the multiple-choice tests or oral examination the student should be able to
The assessment of the oral exam is based on the student’s ability to meet the criteria mentioned above and their ability to
Regarding the use of generative AI at the exam In this course, the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is not allowed, not for written product(s) and not for any given fixed preparation time in connection with the oral exam and not during the oral exam. Regular spell check and other language suggestions, as known from Word or other word processing programs, as well as programs for writing minutes and transcription, are allowed.
