Topic
The main objectives of this course are to stimulate interest in students toward the experimental approach to cell biology, to develop their interpretation, problem-solving skills and their creative way of thinking. This course is an advanced course tightly connected to the compulsory subject Molecular Cell Biology. The lectures cover the important discoveries of cell and molecular biology, using an experimental approach. On the small-group-discussions phenomena of molecular cell biology are described and discussed using problem-based learning techniques (e.g. figure analysis, planning of experiments, application tests) developed in the Department of Medical Biology. The compulsory subject deals with these same topics with more conventional educational methods. Although the course helps to understand principles and processes in cell biology, it is in no way required to successfully complete the compulsory subject.
