REGISTRATION AND STUDY ADMINISTRATIVE
Registration

Sign up for study activities at stads selvbetjening within the announced registration period, as you can see on the Studyadministration homepage.

When signing up for study activities, please be aware of potential conflicts between study activities or exam dates.

The planning of activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose.

Number of participants

There is a maximun of 16 studens at this course.

Selection criteria:

a) Students at Molecular Health Science will be given first priority.

b) If there are more students who wish to take this course, than there are places for, students who have passed the highest ECTS-points will be given priority.

c) Ultimately the spots for this course will be distributed by lottery/drawing lots.

The Master Programme/Institute reserves the right to cancel the course if fewer than 8 studentes are registered for the course.

ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The purpose of the course is to teach and train the students experimental approaches within cell biology that gives students insight into the use of various cellular models and methods.

Detailed description of content

The course will give the students hands on and knowledge in selected techniques in Experimental Cell Biology:

  • Growing and handling mamallian cells

  • Evaluate growth (by counting, staining, flow cytometry and microscopy)

  • Study cellelular responces by transfection

  • Visualization of cellular components (microscopy)

Course material and Reading list

Lecture notes will be posted at moodle.ruc.dk.

Overall plan and expected work effort

The course contain

  • Lectures: 4 hours

  • Student presentations: 3 hours

  • Lab work: 72 hours

  • Preparation: 56 hours

- In total 135 hours

Format
Evaluation and feedback

The course includes formative evaluation based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s).

Students are expected to provide constructive critique, feedback and viewpoints during the course if it is needed for the course to have better quality. Every other year at the end of the course, there will also be an evaluation through a questionnaire in SurveyXact. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher.

Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course.

Programme

The sepcific course schedule will be posted at moodle.ruc.dk.

ASSESSMENT
Overall learning outcomes

After completing the course, the students will be able to:

  • grow various cell types in vitro

  • select and describe relevant cell biology methods for testing a given problem

  • independently plan and complete experimental work based on standard protocols

  • use good practices related to keeping laboratory journals

  • select, discuss, and use digital programs to analyse the data that has been acquired

  • plan, complete and analyse assigned experiments using cell biological methods

  • analyse complex data structures with relevant mathematical and statistical models/programs.

Form of examination
The course is passed through active, regular attendance and satisfactory participation.

Active participation is defined as:
The student must participate in course related activities (e.g. workshops, seminars, field excursions, process study groups, working conferences, supervision groups, feedback sessions).

Regular attendance is defined as:
- The student must be present for minimum 80 percent of the experimental/practical parts of the course with the developed analysis and interpretation of data in reports..

Satisfactory participation is defined as:
- e.g. oral presentations (individually or in a group), peer reviews, mini projects, test, planning of a course session .

Assessment: Pass/Fail.
Form of Re-examination
Samme som ordinær eksamen / same form as ordinary exam
Type of examination in special cases
Examination and assessment criteria

The course is passed through active, regular attendance and satisfactory participation.

Active participation is defined as real participation in the lab-work, lectures, the student presentations and discussion.

Regular attendance is defined as 80 percent of the parts of the lab work, analysis and interpretation of data in reports.

Following satisfactory participation in the course, the students may

  • Select and describe relevant cell biology methods for testing a given problem

  • Plan and complete experimental work based on standard protocols

  • Perform good practices in keeping laboratory journals

  • Select, discuss, and use digital programs to analyse the data that has been acquired

  • Analyse complex data structures with relevant mathematical and statistical models/programs
