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. |

| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
The purpose of the course is to teach the students experimental approaches to investigate molecular mechanisms of infectious disease that gives students insight into the identification, function, regulation of virulence properties of model human pathogens as well as antimicrobial methods for treatment of these. The students will be introduced to various methods that are used in contemporary infectious disease research and clinical laboratories. |

| 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 |
An intensive laboratory course with introductory lectures and student presentations related to the day’s work. The students will work in groups of two or three and prepare a laboratory journal and a laboratory report during the course. See Moodle for further details. |

| Form of examination |
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, and feedback sessions). Regular attendance is defined as: - The student must be present for a minimum of 75 percentof the lessons. Satisfactory participation is defined as: - e.g., oral presentations (individually or in a group), peer reviews, mini projects, tests, and planning of a course session. Assessment: Pass/Fail |
| Form of Re-examination |
Re-exam: Students who have only met the requirement of regular attendance between 50% and 75% must hand in an additional written product.
Assessment: Pass/Fail |

| Examination and assessment criteria |
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, and feedback sessions). Regular attendance is defined as: - The student must be present for a minimum of 75 percent of the scheduled teaching. Satisfactory participation is defined as: - e.g., oral presentations (individually or in a group), peer reviews, mini projects, tests, and planning of a course session. -The students will be required to make mini-reports (portfolio) of the experimental exercises. Assessment: Pass/Fail The portfolio consists of a mini-project report for each exercise, which addresses microbiological experimentations, principles and perspectives as well as addressing the questions in the instruction manual. The portfolio must be handed in one week after completion of the course. The character limit of the portfolio is 12,000-96,000 characters, including spaces. The preparation of the products may be subject to time limits. The character limits include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. Students will be assessed by their ability to For written report:
