Conditions for acceptance of the semester

As it stands in our "Students' Guide" completion of all lab experiments, with the instructor's signature certifying completion.

No more absences from seminars and exercises than allowed. In accordance with the application of the provisions of the Study and Examination Regulations, Article 1/A(6), to small-group sessions (seminars and practicals).

Mid-term exams

Mid-term and end-of-semester written tests. The dates and topics of the tests will be announced on lectures, and in the Lecture Teams group of Molecular Cell Biology for Students of Dentistry. A grade improvement is not possible for any of the written tests. Exemptions from the end-of-semester oral exam may be obtained based on the cumulative results of the tests.

Making up for missed classes

As it stands in our Students' Guide" it is possible to make up for missed lab experiments by taking part in make-up lab sessions organised by the department. A mid-term test can be made up for based on previous consultation with the course director. It is not possible to make up the end-of-semester test.

Exam topics/questions

They are available on PotePedia and are uploaded into the Teams lecture group of the respective semester.
