BIO1200 Fundamentals of Biomedical Analysis: Anatomy, Physiology and Histology Course description

Emnet omhandler grunnleggende kunnskap i anatomi, fysiologi og histologi. Sentralt for dette er kunnskap om og forståelse for sammenhengen mellom de forskjellige vev og organers struktur og funksjon og de viktigste mekanismene for regulering av biologiske funksjoner. Grunnleggende kunnskap i anatomi, fysiologi og histologi er en forutsetning for å forstå utvikling av sykdom og hvordan sykdom kan påvirke analyseresultater.

Emnet er sammensatt av følgende fagområder, angitt i studiepoeng:

• Anatomi og fysiologi 9,5
• Histologi 0,5

Studenten må være tatt opp på studiet.

Students shall apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in over the course of the degree programme to a realistic engineering problem. They shall demonstrate the ability to further develop their knowledge and skills in theoretical and/or practical problem-solving. Students shall demonstrate a responsible and ethical approach to their professional expertise. The course builds on the first and second years of the study programme.

Students must be registered in the third year and have completed at least 100 credits from the first and second years by the 1st of October before they are assigned a topic for their bachelor's thesis.

The bachelor's thesis is an independent project assignment carried out in groups of students. The content of the thesis shall be relevant to the programme. The bachelor's thesis shall be method-oriented and problem-oriented, and shall be organised in a manner that allows students to use knowledge and skills from several fields.

The thesis shall preferably be written in cooperation with an enterprise, industry organisation or public institution.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• course in literature searches and source criticism
• approved progress schedule
• two oral presentations.

The assessment of the group bachelor's thesis (2-4 students) will be based on the execution of the project, the report, an oral presentation and a poster in English.

1. The execution and oral presentation count 60% and are assessed on the basis of the project's level of difficulty and the students planning, progress, initiative, practical skills, assessment skills, independence and cooperation skills. This part of the project cannot be appealed.

2. The report and the poster count 40% and are assessed on the basis of their academic quality, clear presentation, systematic structure, language, academic references and the students degree of independence in the writing process.

Both parts of the exam must be awarded an E or better in order for the student to pass the course.

Only the grade given for part 2 (the written report) can be appealed.

All.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.
