Genetics and Genomics course provides basic knowledge on general and human genetics and genomics. The course has lecture and practice (laboratory) parts. According to the Academic and Examination Rules (17§ 7-8.) the students must visit at least 75% of lectures. The attendance of students on the practices and lectures will be checked weekly. More than three absences from the lessons invalidate the semester, no signature is given. There are no extra practices.

There is no opportunity to improve the midterm scores.
Examination info
The semester is finished by a written exam (single choice and essay questions, family tree, kariogram, result of molecular genetic studies etc.) The exam grade will be calculated from the sum of midterm scores (maximum 40) and exam scores (maximum 80). For passing (Grade 2-5) you have to reach more than 50 % of both the exam scores (40) and total scores (60). In case of failure (Grade 1), the retake can be done not sooner than 3 days after the exam. In the third exam midterm scores are not calculated. The midterm and exam questions are based on the textbook, lecture and practice presentations and handouts.
The exam days will be published one month before the beginning of the examination period. Signing up and modification of the exam days can be arranged exclusively online in the students’ registration system (NEPTUN). If you want to change your exam day, first you have to cancel your earlier sign up. Please, consider the registration deadlines (two workdays) for the exams. The time, the place and number of students may change after your registration, so check these parameters before the exam. You cannot take the exam without lecture (index) book!
