The exam result can be appealed.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge and skills:

Knowledge

The student can

• explain fundamental biochemical processes at the cellular level and consider them in the context of physiological processes in the body's organs
• explain the anatomical structure of the musculoskeletal system
• explain the structure of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems
• explain the physiological processes in the respiratory and circulatory systems
• describe the anatomy and physiology of the sensory and reproductive systems
• explain physiological processes of the kidneys, the urinary tract, and the digestive and nervous systems
• explain the body's movements, axes, planes and directions
• describe axes, planes and directions in medical images

Skills

The student can

• apply Latin names and terminology for muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves, positions, directions of movement, axes and planes
• identify different organs and structures in medical images
• palpate different bones and joints

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• has knowledge of the historical development of building architecture in Norway and Europe, and has learnt to identify the most important architectural styles
• has knowledge of constructional architectural history
• has knowledge of the main characteristics of and differences between local building traditions in Norway
• has knowledge of the historical development of urban planning and the design of street networks and outdoor spaces in built-up environments
• has knowledge of how environmental considerations and the desire for sustainable development can be linked to the concept of building traditions in order to develop good residential environments

Skills

The student:

• is capable of seeing a building project from the architect's perspective when designing and dimensioning a building
• is capable of making the right choices in connection with planning and building applications by using his/her knowledge of architecture, building traditions and aesthetics, and of ensuring good adaptation to the existing built-up environment, the scenery and the surroundings
• is capable of meeting the Planning and Building Act-s requirements for building traditions and aesthetics
• understands how building traditions and aesthetics can be addressed in building projects, and particularly in connection with urban renewal/regeneration (balconies, retrofitting of insulation, noise barriers), densification, annexes/extensions etc.
• has knowledge of how environmental considerations and the desire for sustainable development can be linked to the concept of building traditions

General competence

• The student:is capable of making sensible choices in connection with planning and building applications based on an overall assessment of the many requirements for aesthetics and compliance with building tradition
• benefits from his/her knowledge of constructional architectural history when designing buildings
• is capable of proposing more sustainable urban development

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• has a basic understanding of the principles of molecular biology
• can explain how biotechnological production organisms are generated through classical mutagenesis, protoplast fusion and recombinant DNA technology
• can describe how DNA is amplified using PCR and real-time PCR (qPCR)
• can outline how hybridisation techniques such as Southern blot, northern blot and colony hybridisation are used
• can name different biotechnology methods and processes
• is familiar with the principles for microorganism growth and the production of biomolecules in fermenters
• can explain the structure of viruses, how viruses infect cells and develop in both lytic and lysogenic cycles
• can explain non-specific and specific immunity and the structure and function of antibodies in the body

Skills

The student is capable of:

• selecting restriction enzymes and vectors in recombinant DNA technology
• transforming bacteria with the use of electroporation
• using techniques to isolate DNA fragments from agarose gels
• concentrating DNA fragments with the use of PCR
• can genotype using real-time PCR (qPCR)

General competence

The student:

• is capable of planning and performing biotechnology and molecular biology laboratory experiments
• demonstrates awareness of ethical consequences of genetic engineering methods in connection with the development of genetically engineered organisms, foetal diagnostics, forensic analyses and DNA analyses in connection with genetic disorders
• is capable of assessing and communicating results from biotechnological and genetic engineering laboratory experiments, both orally and in writing

The following must have been approved before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum attendance of 80% at scheduled seminars and skills training sessions
• individual multiple choice test, up to 2 hours, in accordance with set criteria

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

• 6-day laboratory course and 3 written reports (1 individual lab journal and 3 reports in groups of 2-4 students, 10-20 pages per report)
• 2 of 8 exercises

Exam autumn 2021 due to Covid-19:

Individual digital home exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral instead of written examination may be used. If oral exams are used the result cannot be appealed.

[Exam earlier:]

Individual written exam, 3 hours

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral instead of written examination may be used. If oral exams are used the result cannot be appealed.

An external examiner contributes to the preparation of the exam questions.

Free text assignment: At least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by one external and one internal examiner. The external examiner's assessment should benefit all students. The remaining papers will be assessed by internal examiners.

Multiple choice test: quality assured by an internal examiner and automatically assessed
