General Competencies
Partim Molecular Plant Physiology :
A student who completed the course must be able to understand most of plant physiological scientific literature, the objectives of the research, the methodological approach and the scientific relevance of the findings.
Partim Molecular Plant Biotechnology:
The students acquire a thorough knowledge of plant biotechnoloy and genetic engineering and of their applications
- Grading
-
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
- Mondeling examen
with a relative weight of 1
which comprises 100% of the final mark.
Note: Mondeling examen met schriftelijke voorbereiding over de cususinhoud; hierbij wordt in eerste instantie gepeild naar inzicht in de gedoceerde stof en het kunnen toepassen van de besproken technieken. Daarenboven wordt aan de studenten gevraagd een recent onderzoeksartikel te bespreken, waarbij de achtergrond van het onderzoek, de doelstellingen en de belangrijkste resultaten en conclusies worden belicht en suggesties en hypothesen voor verder onderzoek worden geformuleerd.
