Groups

Group 1

Für diese LV wird eine verpflichtende Sicherheitsunterweisung stattfinden. Nach Ablauf der Anmeldephase und Aufnahme der Studierenden, muss diese absolviert werden. Der link zum entsprechenden Moodle-Kurs wird ihnen nach Aufnahme in den Kurs zugesendet.
Alle Übungsräume dürfen ausschließlich mit Labormantel und geschlossenen Schuhen betreten werden, falls benötigt, muss eine Laborbrille angeschafft werden - Privatsachen bitte in den Garderoberäumen verstauen.

There will be a mandatory safty instruction for this course. After the registration period, the admitted students have to complete this instruction. The link to the corresponding Moodle course will be sent to you after you have been accepted to the course.
All practice rooms may only be entered with a lab coat and closed shoes, and, if needed, lab glasses must also be purchased - please store private belongings in the cloakroom.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

a. Minimal requirement: compulsory attendance, active participation, written protocol and final exam
b. Assessment criteria:
- active participation 45%,
- protocol 10%,
- Theoretical basics and final exam 45% (all parts must passed positively, an opportunity for improvement in the case of negative exam results is possible).

Examination topics

Concentrations and dilutions, buffers, plasmids and their functional elements, plasmid extraction, PCR, restriction cloning, protein expression, SDS-PAGE, DNA (Sanger) sequencing. For methods used in the practical course, it is essential to remember and understand the steps and their significance (what happens at each step). For buffers used during the practical, it is essential to understand the function of each component (remembering the exact concentration of each component is a plus, but not required).
The exam probes theoretical understanding of the taught exercises.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

UPDATE: 28.09.2023:
A. Minimal requirements: compulsory attendance, active participation, written protocol and final exam. For the positive grade, all partial achievements must be positively assessed. B. Contribution of partial achievements to the final grade: active participation: 45%; lab book and report (protocol): 10%; final written examination: 45%. The final exam must be passed positively; an opportunity for improvement in the case of negative results is possible. C. Assessment criteria. Active participation refers to reading and completion of the materials and activities on course Moodle pages, active participation in experimentation, proactive learning of experimental methods and experimental design, data presentation and analysis, completion of tests and assignments during the practical, contribution to in-class discussions, formulation and utterance of questions and comments, own contribution to course teaching materials. Labbook and report: following formal requirements of labbook keeping; consistent note-taking; exact protocols description, including deviations from protocols; comprehensive annotation of images, graphs and tables; concise description of experimental goal(s), expected results, empirical observations and conclusions; possible explanations when empirical observations do not match the expected results; description of troubleshooting strategy. Final exam: correct and complete answers to questions covering examination topics.
