Basic laboratory skills / basic statistical analysis
- The student(s) can differentiate chemical substances based on bond types and molecular structure
- The student(s) can explain and apply the fundamentals of spectroscopy, especially photospectrometry to simple molecules.
- The student(s) can recognize all types of functionalities in organic compounds and describe them in terms of reactivity. He/She knows the main mechanisms of transformations of functionalities (radical reactions, substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation and reduction) and can apply them to new molecules.
- The student(s) has knowledge of the chemistry and reactivity of metals and pblok elements.
- The student(s) can explain the basic laws of chemical thermodynamics.
- The student(e) knows the major biomolecules (Carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and proteins). He/she can describe the reactivity and functionality of these compounds.
- The student(s) has knowledge of the fundamentals of polymeric materials (synthetic and biological origin) and their physical behavior. (Chemistry of Life Sciences 1)
|
|
|
- The student has insights on how and why microbiology developed as a science, in an historical context.
- The student knows the cell structure of procaryotes: cell wall, membranes, motility, cell growth and influence of environmental factors on growth.
- The student understands why microbes are metabolically so diverse, as well as which types of biochemical reactions are involved in each metabolic strategy of 1-energy and 2-biomass production.
- The student understands the molecular process driving the growth of microbial cells, as well as the rules that describe the growth of microbial populations.
- The student recognizes the mutualistic and parasitic relationships between pro- and eucaryotes, as well as the genetic cross-talk between partners.
- The student knows the general phylogeny of Bacteria.
- The student understands the principles of microbial ecology, as well as how microbes can have an impact on the biogeochemical cycles.
- The student has understanding on industrial applications using prokaryotes, in particular the ones involved in sustainable processes (microbes in industry).
- The student is aware of how viruses and prions function (introduction to virology).
- The student is aware of the main human diseases that can becaused by prokaryotes (medical microbiology).
- The student knows how to carry out experimental work with microorganisms in a safe manner.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The students are evaluated on both the theoretical part and their practical skills. Attending and reporting on the practical courses is mandatory. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Attending and reporting on the practical courses is mandatory. Students who do not meet this condition will obtain a -N- ('examenonderdeel niet volledig afgelegd: ongewettigd afwezig voor onderde(e)len van de evaluatie') as a final grade for this course, even if they validate the theoretical part. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | Either mark on practica or theoretical mark can be transferred to the following examination period.
Permanent evaluation for practical courses is 20% of the final mark. Questions and answers are in Dutch.
Written exam for lessons (integrates knowledge acquired during practical courses as well)-75% of the final mark. Questions written in Dutch, answered in Dutch (answering is possible in English if the student wants to do so; but this will not give an advantage for the mark). |

Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | The partial score of the practical exam is maintained during the second
evaluation period. |
