Introduction

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav og deltakelse i bestemte faglige aktiviteter. Om krav til deltakelse i undervisningsaktiviteter, se avsnittet innledningsvis om "Arbeidskrav". Alle arbeidskravene er utformet med utgangspunkt i læringsutbyttebeskrivelsene som hører til emne 3. Dette er nærmere spesifisert i hvert enkelt tilfelle. Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen i emne 3 kan avlegges:

Arbeidskrav 1

Individuell skriftlig regneprøve under tilsyn på OsloMet. Ingen hjelpemidler. Varighet: 3 timer. For dette arbeidskravet er det anledning til to nye forsøk dersom man får «Ikke godkjent».

Arbeidskrav 2

Muntlig gruppefremføring av faglig og didaktisk tema inkludert praktisk estetisk element. Arbeidet med dette er et samarbeid mellom kunst- og håndverk og matematikkfaget, og er dermed fagovergripende (jf. programplanen om fagovergripende tema ulike studieår). Varighet av fremføring: ca. 15 minutter.

Arbeidskrav 3: Flerfaglig arbeid med begynneropplæring

En flerfaglig gruppeoppgave knyttet til fagene norsk, matematikk og pedagogikk og elevkunnskap om begynneropplæring. Utgangspunktet for arbeidskravet er to observasjonsdager i 1. klasse. Arbeidskravet inneholder en skriftlig oppgave med et omfang på 3000 ord +/- 10 %. Formålet med oppgaven er å få reflektert over flerfaglige perspektiver knyttet til begynneropplæring. Dersom oppgaven ikke blir godkjent, kan arbeidet forbedres og leveres inn én gang til.

Målform: Bokmål (nynorsk fra og med kullet som starter høsten 2022).

Required preliminary courses

Eksamensform

Individuell muntlig eksamen. Varighet: 25-30 minutter.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen.

Learning outcomes

Ingen.

Teaching and learning methods

Det benyttes en gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen.

Course requirements

The following work must have been approved for a student to be permitted to take the examination:

  • a presentation of the project assignment to the class (individually or in groups of up to three students)
  • a peer assessment (individually or in groups of up to three students) subject to given criteria

Assessment

A project examination (individually or in groups of up to three students) in the form of a report (up to 2,000 words). One overall grade is awarded each group after the examination.

The course is conducted in English and the exam paper is given in English. The exam can be answered in English, Norwegian (Bokmål/Nynorsk), Swedish or Danish.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

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

Knowledge

The student

  • can explain cell proliferation and discuss different forms of cell death and carcinogenesis
  • can account for cellular communication and biochemical signal transmission and explain how these processes are important to regulate cell division and cell death
  • can describe different models of membrane transport in cells and discuss common features and differences between the models
  • can explain how different types of cytoskeletons are built up and function, and discuss the regulatory roles of auxiliary proteins
  • can explain gene regulation in detail and account for different epigenetic and post-translational modifications
  • can describe molecular mechanisms for selected metabolic and endocrine diseases and cardiovascular and neurological disorders
  • can account for different types of stem cells and discuss their potential application

Skills

The student

  • can use cell biology to explain both normal cellular processes and selected pathological conditions and assess possible intervention strategies
  • can reflect on ethical issues linked to research in molecular cell biology

General competence

The student

  • can analyse, critically assess, summarise and disseminate scholarly articles in the field of molecular cell biology
  • can explain selected diseases at a molecular level and in a global epidemiological perspective
  • can update their knowledge in the field of molecular cell biology

Grading scale

Work and teaching methods include lectures, digital resources, seminars with oral student presentations and discussions, group work and self-study.

Examiners

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

  • presentation of a research article, individually or in groups of 3-6 students
