General information
Prerequisite subject: Biology I
Credits: 2+2
Attendance: 75% of the lessons and practices
Exam: Moodle test in the exam period.
Biology II, which covers basic human genetics, has theoretical (GYKGEN269E2A - lecture) and laboratory (GYKGEN269G2A - practice) parts. According to the Academic and Examination Rules (17§ 7-8.) the students must visit at least 75% of the practices. Attendance on the practices will be checked weekly. More than three absences from the practices for any reason will invalidate the semester, no signature will be given and you will not be allowed to take the exam. There are no extra lectures and practices.
Remember the exact time of lectures and practices. Being late (10 minutes or more) from practice will be considered an absence.
In this semester, you have two midterms: in the 5th (Moodle test) and 11th week (Moodle test) during the practices. Midterms will include questions from both practices and lectures. Absence from the midterm will be considered an absence from practice. There is no opportunity to improve or retake the midterm.
Writing the mindterms is not mandatory. BUT, Students who obtain 75% of the total midterm score will receive a higher grade if they pass the exam (obtain more than 50% of the total score in the exam). For exmaple, if you receive a grade of 2 on the written exam, your final grade in NEPTUN will be 3. This option is only available until the end of the regular exam period and cannot be transferred to the extended exam period, CV, and FM courses.
You may also have homework and weekly test. (For example, there will be 5 Moodle questions in each of the lectures.)
If you recieve the signature, you will have a final exam during the exam period, which will be a Moodle test (multiple choice, essay, gap filling, etc. similar to midterms) covering practice and lecture parts of both Biology I and Biology II. To pass the final exam, you must score at least 50% on both the Biology I and II questions.
Registration for the exam can be done online through the Neptun system starting from the second half of April. Students will have three opportunities to take the exam. During the examination period, there will be voluntary consultations.
Further information will be available on the homepage (http://gsi.semmelweis.hu) as well as on the Moodle page of the department: e.g. lecture and practice presentations, detailed list of topics for midterm and final exam. (The username and password are on the Neptun course sheet)
