ACIT4310 Applied and Computational Mathematics Course description

Veiledede praksisstudier, selvstudier, ferdighetstrening, simulering og refleksjonsgrupper.

The course is divided into two parts. Part 1 is carried through in the third semester and includes knowledge of pathophysiological processes, such as inflammation, infection, cell damage, cell death and cancer development is essential to understanding disease processes. Characterising the disturbances in the biological processes, which take place in connection with disease, forms the basis for laboratory diagnostics. Analysis of biochemical markers and cells from different organs is important to the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and the medical laboratory scientist is key in the completion of these analyses.

Part 2 of the course is a project in interdisciplinary communication, interaction and supervision, which is carried through in the fourth semester.

Passed first year of the programme or equivalent, with the exception of the course BIOB1060.

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

• can explain the causes of selected diseases in the liver and the gastrointestinal system, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the reproduction system, the skeletal-muscular system, the circulatory system, the fluid, electrolyte and acid/base balance, and the kidney and urinary tract system
• can explain biological processes that occur in connection with selected diseases in different organs, and how analyses of biological material can contribute to determine disease
• has knowledge of the relevance and significance of laboratory investigations for preventing, diagnosing and treating disease
• is familiar with methods, laboratory equipment and biomedical laboratory tasks in nuclear medicine and pharmacology
• can describe communication theories relevant to the dissemination of biomedical laboratory practice
• is familiar with how children and adolescents’ participation and rights can be secured when taking blood samples

Skills

The student

• can discuss and reflect on the significance of laboratory investigations in diagnostics
• can master cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use a defibrillator
• can find, assess and follow the applicable guidelines for protection against ionising radiation

General competence

The student

• can disseminate academic knowledge and supervise fellow students across professions

Part 1: No aids are permitted.

Part 2: All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Part 1: A-F.

Part 2: Pass/fail

Part 1: All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
