Proseminar on Molecular Design 1100-3BP18
The course is dedicated to the students of both "Molecular Biophysics" and "Molecular Design and Bioinformatics"; the former more experimental, and the latter more connected with computers. Every student prepares one ca. 30 min. presentation on a selected topic, from the list provided by the tutors from the Division of Biophysics.
Additionally, each student listens to the other lectures and takes part in the discussion afterward. The main aims of the course are to acquaint the students with crucial and basic problems in biophysics and bioinformatics, and to teach them how to make a presentation of scientific results.
Student's effort:
Listening to the presentations of others and preparation for discussion = 30 h
Preparation and delivery of the presentation: ca. 30 h
Total: ca. 60 h

KNOWLEDGE
1. The student knows the basic, joint problems of physics, chemistry, and biology, and in this regard the basic topics being developed in the Division of Biophysics.
2. The student knows the basic social relations of biophysical science.
SKILLS
1. The student is able to analyse connections between multidisciplinary research in biophysics and bioinformatics.
2. The student is able to deliver a presentation of basic scientific results of physics, chemistry, and biology.
3. The student knows English sufficiently to prepare and present a scientific problem.
SOCIAL ABILITIES
1. The student comprehends significance of solid scientific data and the necessity of colaboration to acquire them.
2. The student comprehends necessity to read and exploit the current scientific publications
3. The student recognizes the interrelations in physico-chemical and biomedical sciences.
Assessment criteria
The mark is verified by the coordinator of the course and the tutors of those students who make the presentations. The main criteria of the assessement are: substantive content, accomodation to the formal rules (observing the time, quality of slides), and answers to the questions. Additionally, participation in the course and discussions on the other presentations is also taken into account.
Practical placement
None
Bibliography
Each presentation is prepared on the basis of the scientific publications selected for the student by the tutor.
