Module Number: | 12777 |
Module Title: | Methods in Synthetic Microbiology |
Methoden der synthetischen Mikrobiologie | |
Department: | Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences |
Responsible Staff Member: |
|
Language of Teaching / Examination: | English |
Duration: | 1 semester |
Frequency of Offer: | Every summer semester |
Credits: | 8 |
Learning Outcome: | After completing the module, the students will be able to present the current literature on a research area in a summarized form. By presenting and discussing their results from the laboratory course they are able to critically question research results. In the practical course, students have to work on sophisticated projects which need competences such as teamwork, organized project planning (project management) and analytical abilities. This course aims to teach diverse techniques and methods used for genetic engineering, molecular cloning, expression in procaryotic or eucaryotic systems, conceptional thinking, independent preparation, execution, evaluation of experiments, and adequate documentation. |

Module Examination: | Continuous Assessment (MCA) |
Assessment Mode for Module Examination: | We will occasionally evaluate the theoretical preparation of each student orally. If there is insufficient preparation, the experimental work will be stopped for safety reasons. Experiments can be continued when successful background knowledge is confirmed. The lab performance (theoretical preparation, organization and execution in the lab, time management) of each student will be observed. After completing the experiments, each student submits a manuscript about the experimental results and give an oral presentation and discussion.
