MABIO4110 Molecular Cell Biology Course description

The course will use varied, student-active work methods and is organised in line with the flipped classroom principle, where teaching sessions at the university and digital supervision support the video lectures. The course includes video lectures, online resources and digital group supervision. Online teaching takes place via OsloMet’s digital learning platform. Seminars at the university will be a combination of lectures and workshops. 

During the course, the student will complete an independent work involving planning a knowledge translation project relevant to their own practice. The work comprises one assignment for each of the six sub-topics. Individual supervision will be given on the assignment work (written feedback on the draft assignment). The work is then edited to form an examination assignment, which then takes the form of a knowledge translation project plan. 

None. 

Individual project examination in the form of an assignment that is developed during the course. Scope: Up to 4,000 words, excluding the list of references. 

Resit examination: If the student fails the assignment, he/she will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Pass/Fail. 

At least 20% of the examination papers will be assessed by an external examiner together with an internal examiner. The remaining papers will be assessed by two internal examiners. The external examiner’s assessment should benefit all students.

10 ECTS credits overlap with MAERGD4100 Knowledge Translation.

Grade scale A-F

All papers will be assessed by two examiners, one of whom must be external.

The master’s thesis is an independent, analytical work with a scope of 30 ECTC credits of relevance to the subject areas in the programme. The students must choose a topic to be explored through systematic use of qualitative and/or quantitative methods. The research question can be of a theoretical or an empirical nature. The master’s thesis can be submitted as a monograph or as an article-based thesis (article manuscript and introductory chapter (kappe)).

The language of instruction is Norwegian.

Students must have passed all courses in the master’s degree programme before they can submit their master’s thesis for assessment.
