Prerequisites
Basis knowledge of chemistry.
Final Objectives
Core competences 1:
To be able to handle correctly theoretical and practical insights from biology/biochemistry (especially microscopic techniques) and to implement independently scientific-disciplinary insights on scientific problems. (SC1, AIC1)
General competence 1:
To be able to communicate and to report information, ideas, problems and solutions – especially biological ones - to laymen as well as to specialists in an efficient way. (AC4)
General competence 2:
To be able to think and to reason permanently in a critical, creative and scientific way. (AC1)

Exercises (permanent evaluation and tests): 33,3 %
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
