Basic Techniques of Genetic Engineering - opis przedmiotu

Cel przedmiotu

The lecture on Basic Genetic Engineering Techniques is designed to introduce students to issues in the field of techniques used to manipulate genetic material, various DNA cloning techniques and recombinant DNA techniques. Laboratory classes are designed to introduce students to the principles of safe work in a molecular biology laboratory and to provide practical knowledge of basic genetic engineering techniques. The student should acquire the ability to perform the cloning experiment and develop the ability of critical analysis and proper interpretation of the results.

Warunki zaliczenia

The lectures – the requirement of the assessment is to get pass mark credit of written examination, which lasts 60 minutes. The examination test contains 30 questions (open and closed), 60% of all of the points are required to get the pass mark credit. Laboratory classes - the requirements of the assessment criteria refer to the attendance at classes, the active participation in laboratory experiments and to get the pass mark credit of written tests with open and closed questions (above 60% of all of the points are required to get the pass mark credit) and credit of all written reports from performed laboratory experiments. The final mark consists of the average sum of all of the pass partial marks.
