TAF (Type of Educational Activity) All courses and activities are classified into different types of educational activities, indicated by a letter.
Genetics and Molecular Biology (2022/2023)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning objectives
Genetics Knowledge of the principles and mechanisms of human and molecular genetics responsible for the transmission of normal and abnormal characters in humans. Being able to draw and interpret human pedigrees, and to efficiently counsel patients and families about the nature of genetic disease, as well as to assess recurrence and occurrence of reproductive genetic risks (genetic counselling). Knowledge of the basic calculations of gene/allele frequencies in populations. Molecular Biology This course is addressed to the students of the second year of Medicine and is intended to: 1. Lead the student to deepen its knowledge on the complexity of genomic DNA and on the processes that underlie gene regulation and its expression. 2. Train the student to understand the scientific method, by discussing experiments allowing the comprehension of new knowledge in Molecular Biology. 3. Acquire full understanding of recombinant DNA principles and technologies and their applications in Medicine.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Students should have acquired the essential concepts of chemistry and biochemistry.

Learning assessment procedures
In order to pass he whole exam, students should demonstrate to have learned the necessary knowledges listed in the programme, e to demonstrate skills in exposing thei arguments in a critical and precise way, using an appropriate scientific language.
Each academic year includes 6 exam sessions, arranged as follows: two exams in the winter session, at the end of the Course, two exams in the Summer session, and two exams in the Autumn session.
Each exam is made of two parts, each part passable separately within the same academic year: Molecular Biology (6CFU) and Molecular/Medical Genetics (tiotal 9CFU). Each part consists of a written test of mutiple choice questions, open questions and exercises, followed by an oral test (provided the written test is passed). The exam is passed if the score in each part is equal to or greater than 18/30; the final cumulative score, in thirtieths (.../30), is calculated from the weighted average of the scores of two modules. Students who pass only one part of the exam are allowed to take the other part only in the next sessions, provided they are within the same academic year.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
After passing the molecular and medical genetics (GMM) and molecular biology (BM) tests, the final grade for the registration of the I.C. will be calculated by means of the weighted average. The two tests must be passed within the same exam session (winter, summer or autumn).
