| Master Session |
They will follow the course schedule. They are organized in lessons, 50 minutes each. In most cases, it is dedicated to explain and develop the contents of the course (concepts and methodologies), but due to time constraints, students needs to complete them (before and after lectures), by self-study using textbooks, complementary readings, computer animations, and reference web pages. |
| Troubleshooting and / or exercises |
The purpose of working through problems is to better understand the concepts covered during theoretical lectures. A number of problems (available in TEMA) will be assigned throughout the semester. These will be collected periodically as they will be graded in the class time. This is a compulsory task. Students may be called upon to solve examples of the completed problems (on the board on their corresponding due dates).
|
| Laboratory practises |
The aims of the laboratory sessions are to present to the student experimental procedures related to the course. Students are expected to read the corresponding lab material BEFOREHAND. The contents of the lab sessions are connected with the contents of the lectures both theoretical and problem-solving, so that their content is also part of the knowledge necessary to pass the course. |
| Previous studies / activities |
Genetics is a difficult subject. There is a lot of material to learn it. Genetics is also a problem-based course. It will be necessary to memorize many concepts, organize information, draw conclusions, and solve problems. We recommend at lest 2-3 hours of study for every hour of lecture. In order to verify that the learning outcomes are acquired according to the course schedule, you have to use the electronic platform TEMA. Here, students will find (in Spanish and English) lecture presentations, supplementary readings, learning material, laboratory guides, problems with complete answers and explanations, and online self-assessment tests. |
