Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In order to follow the rapid developments in this discipline, it is important to know about the basic molecular and cell biological techniques such as Western blotting, PCR, ELISA, ... and their applications in the field of sports sciences. This seminar aims to provide basic knowledge which can be extended during the research practicum or the diploma thesis.

Assessment and permitted materials

There is a continuous assessment of course work including writing short essays about selected topics (20%), taking part in the discussions (10%), and writing a final seminar work (70%).

Examination-immanent course: I.e. short written summary of selected topics (20%), participation in the discussions/speeches (10%), final paper (70%), compulsory attendance.

The entire performance by students must be completed by the following 30 April at the latest for examination-immanent courses in the winter semester, and by the following 30 September at the latest for examination-immanent courses in the summer semester.
