The aim of the course:
The objectives of the course is to develop basic laboratory skills of the students on classic and modern genetics and to reinforce the understanding of students on genetics I and II course material
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : demonstrate the ability to do crosses with Drosophila and evaluate the results 1,2,4,61,
LO - 2 : be familiar with basic genetics lab safety protocols. 1,2,4,63,
LO - 3 : understand and explain the use of modern genetics techniques.1,2,4,63,
LO - 4 : develop critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills in the design, analysis, and interpretation of genetic studies1,2,4,61,
LO - 5 : have an understanding of the role of genetic factors in health, disease, classification, life.1,2,4,61,
LO - 6 : communicate clearly and effectively oraly or through the written word by reporting the results of their research or laboratory work1,2,4,61,
