Genetics and Genomics (FOKGEN051_1A-00) course
General information
Prerequisite subject:Medical Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology III.
Credits: 2
Attendance: 75% of the lessons
Exam: written test in the exam period.
The Department of Genetics, Cell- and Immunobiology offers Genetics and Genomics course for 3rd year ED students in the second semester. Students who have passed Medical Biology II do not have to register for this course. (No exemption request is needed).
In the case of having Genetics credits from other university, claim for exemption has to be handed in to Dr. Valéria László (tutor) not later than 12th of February.
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.
Midterm exam (written) will be on the 8th week lecture. Result of the midterm exam influences the final grade (see below). Spare midterm is organized for those students who miss the midterm because an acute illness, but they have to show up the medical record to the tutor in one week. There is no opportunity to improve the midterm scores.
Examination info
The semester is finished by a written exam (multiple 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). From 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!
The third exam can be taken after paying retake fee. In this case the students have to show up the receipt before the exam.
