Contents
Competencies / intended learning achievements
− Overview of the principles underlying neuronal development.
− Students will evaluate, discuss and compare a variety of experimental strategies, model systems and experimental methods used to advance our understanding of molecular and cellular aspects of neuronal development.
− Topics will be explored both in breath and in depth using a combination of text books, reviews and original research papers.
− Students will learn to critically evaluate scientific literature.
☐Methodological competence: ---
☒Social competence:
− Learning to discuss scientific issues with other students and the teacher and explaining complex concepts.
− Learning to simplify complicated topics and ideas and to identify their key aspects.
☒Self-competence:
− Acquirement of scientific knowledge by self-responsible reading of English research literature, and identifying points that require further explanation.
− Critical evaluation of current research data.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
On successfully completing the module students will be able to…
− improve their knowledge in the field of neural development.
− read and understand specialist English literature (research papers and reviews).
− summarize and discuss orally research papers.
