Teaching methods

The course has a strong practical content. All students will use a computer and each lesson is a practical analysis of some real
biotecnology data guided by the teacher

Assessment methods and criteria

The learning will be assessed through a practical exam at the end of the course. Students will be asked to analyze real data and prepare summary graphs.
It will thus be verified both the ability to learn and the ability to learn application ("applied knowledge and understanding") and also the ability to present and communicate scientific data
