Teaching Methods

The lectures by experts in the field of biochemistry will take place in a seminar model. These will take place in 2-hour sessions, so that there will be room for an expository part and a discussion part, where student participation is stimulated.
The exclusively continuous assessment will consist of:
- Student participation in each lecture, which will include attendance and attitude, which is intended to be critical and communicative (10%);
- Individual answer to questionnaires about each of the lectures held in moodle environment (30%),
- Elaboration of a detailed internship project, in collaboration with the Internship advisor (s) and its oral presentation to the UC jury. (60%).
