The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study: Understanding the structure, mechanisms and principles of inheritance of genetic material

The general information about the module: The module is introduced in the 1st semester of the first degree/ undergraduate course. It is accomplished with 30 hours of lecture and 15 hours of classes. It ends with an examination-based assessment.

The way of giving the component module grades and the final grade

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	The grade is issued in a manner appropriate to the number of points received during the exam: 50-59% - [3], 60-69% - [3,5], 70-79% - [4], 80-89 - [4,5, 90-100 - [5]
Class	The grade is issued on the basis of the average grade of the two tests and student activity in the classroom. For each test the student solves two tasks, each for 1 point (2 points - [5], 1.75 points - [4,5] 1.5 points - [4], 1.25 points - [3,5], 1 point - [3])
The final grade	The final grade is the average of the grade of lectures and a final evaluation exercise (50/50). The average may be drawn only if both grades are positive
