    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. Students who have not deregistered from the course in question. Students who have not deregistered from the course in question are to be assessed. In the case of a negative assessment, a board examination is inadmissible and the course must be repeated. Legal source: Statutes of the University of Vienna §10 (4, 5, 6).

    You are expressly informed that if you are found to have cheated (e.g.: copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorised aids, falsification, ghostwriting, etc.) the entire PI-LV will be considered cheated and will count as a citation. (Entry in U:SPACE: X = not assessed)

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    -) Acquistion of theoretical knowledge in Molecular Exercise Physiology
    -) Acquisition of basic laboratory skills
    -) Capability to combine sport scientific questions with those derived from Molecular Exercise Physiology
    -) Attendance is compulsory (at least 75% of the units).
    -) Minimum requirement for a positive assessment is 50% of the total points.

    Grades:
    Notenschlüssel:
    Insufficient: <50%
    Sufficient: 50-62,99%
    Satisfactory: 63-74,99%
    Good: 75-86,99%
    Very good: 87-100%

    Examination topics

    A reader containing basic literature according to the single topics will be provided. The reading of these articles is mandatory. The students will work on these topics together with the lecturer during the lessons by summarizing and discussing the articles. Finally, a practical lesson will take place in the Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory (USZ1, ground floor).
