The aim of the course is to give a comprehensive overview of cells and tissues: in an integrated form, students gain knowledge from molecular biology, biochemistry, histology, genetics and immunology. Emphasis is especially placed on linking the knowledge of cellular biological and related disciplines to each other and also with their implications for preclinical and clinical disciplines. The course's learning meetings create opportunities for understanding principles related to cellular structures and functions, together with the application of these principles to model or real-world situations, complemented by practical skills in laboratory science, data interpretation and work with information. |

Exam requirements The final module exam will take place in the summer examination period (June-September) in the form of a written test from all five subjects of the module (biochemistry, histology, molecular biology, genetics and imunology). In order to pass the exam you must obtain at least 60 % of points from questions of each subject and at the same time obtain at least 70 % of the total number of points from the test. The points you accumulated over the year in course tests will be added to your total score and as such they can help you pass the test or improve your mark. However, these points are not added to the 60 % requirement from each subject, you must reach this mark regardless of your work during the year. Detailed information about exam: · exam test can be taken three times at maximum, only in the summer examination period · exam dates are announced in SIS - you can sign up for the exam only if you’ve received both semestral credits (winter and summer) · you MUST sign up for chosen date of the exam in SIS: you will not be able to take the test without it · once you register for an exam you must attend - if you fail to attend without a prior apology you will lose the attempt, i.e. out of three total attempts you will only have two (or one if you fail to attend again without a prior apology) · it is a written exam containing Short Answer Questions, it is realized electronically by the application Moodle, using faculty´s iPADs when sitting at a lecture hall · the test includes questions from all subjects of the module, the sum of points from each subject is the same · topics of the test questions are the same as topics of lectures of the whole module (see syllabus) · total number of points from the test: 40 points for each subject, i. e. 40x 5 subjects = 200 points all together (= 100%) · to pass the exam you must ! you will need your calculator for the test and your ID for log in to CAS · points accumulated from course tests (see below) during the year are added to the total number of points from the exam test (in every term): 4 courses x 5 points = maximum 20 points · these points are not added to point counts from individual subjects, but to the total number of points from the whole test · points from course tests can help you to succeed in the test or improve your result by one mark · exam marking:
Requirements for both the winter and summer semester CREDIT are the same: 1. completed practicals 2. completed tasks in Moodle 3 (online, see Course: NEW - Cellular Basis of Medicine 2023/24 (cuni.cz) 3. presented seminar works (= clinical detective stories and seminar papers) 4. credit test
WITHOUT FULFILLED CREDIT REQUIREMENTS THE SIGNING TO THE EXAM IS NOT POSSIBLE A list of all credit requirements, including whether or not you have already fulfilled the requirement, is available in the Vyuka app (see the "My Rating" button on the right of the blue bar labeled Cellular Basis of Medicine, i.e. you can find it right when you open the Cell module in the Vyuka app).
Credit requirements from BIOCHEMISTRY · successfully completed practicals (= laboratory work: two in the course 1 – spectrophotometry, potentiometry - finished by written test, and one in the course 3 - glycemia): students have to be prepared for the practicals in advance (knowledge of the aim of the experiment and the theory of analytical methods used, including related chemical calculations and theory of that task), during the laboratory work they process a report on their practical and submit it to the teacher no later than 1 week after the practical · late arrival, missing laboratory coat, insufficient preparation for the practicals (even individually) means exclusion from the practical · in the case of distance teaching, the above applies, with the exception of own work in the laboratory: it is presented to students by video recording · the replacement of unfulfilled practicals takes place in the examination period of the given semester in the same form as the practicals in due time, students register for the substitute term in the application Registration https://inis17.lf3.cuni.cz/prihlasovani/ · clinical detective stories (CDS 3,4,5,7,8) and the seminar paper in course 4 (essential substances necessary for development): students prepare for their presentation in advance (in case of CDS in working groups at the seminar) and present it at the relevant seminar to other students and the teacher · in the case of distance teaching, the above applies, the presentation does not take place in the classroom but online, streamed via MS Teams · replacement of unfulfilled CDS and the seminar paper takes place by the end of the 15th week of the given semester after agreement with his / her group teacher individually – if not, there will be one more chance during the examination period of the given semester in the form of one term for all such students together; the substitute form is the same as the performance in due time, students register for the substitute date in the examination period in the application Registration https://inis17.lf3.cuni.cz/prihlasovani/ · Moodle tasks from biochemistry - always three tasks are prepared for each course (i.e. a total of 12 tasks in 4 courses) and must be completed by the deadline announced at Moodle · replacement of unfulfilled tasks in Moodle is possible only in the examination period (of the winter and summer semester), when all tasks will be again accessible to be fulfilled In case the student fails any substitute term in the examination period, the alternative compensation will be solved individually with the group teacher: this is possible only if the student apologized to his / her teacher in advance from the regular dates and had a relevant reason for absence

Credit requirements from MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
· clinical detective story CDS 1: students prepare for the presentation in advance (in working groups) and present it at the seminar to other students and the teacher · in the case of distance teaching, the above applies, the presentation does not take place in the classroom but online, streamed via MS Teams · replacement of unfulfilled CDS 1 takes place after agreement with the teacher individualy by the end of the winter semester
1) Requirements for MB practicals are listed below: a) Students are required to attend at least 80% of the lab practices and perform appropriately during the lab work. b) Students are required to pass the written test. The test will be written during the lab practice.
Late arrival, as well as no lab coat, means exclusion from the lab practice.
2) Students can substitute the absence at lab practices or their part (after a regular apology) by attending the lab practice with another study group. To do that, students need permission from the leader of the lab practice. If no alternative exists on how to realize the lab practice or its part, students will be examined from practices content individually. Students have to inform the practice leader concerning his/her absence in practices in advance. If it is impossible, they have to do it as soon as possible. 3) Students are required to obtain at least 60% of all available test points to pass the test. The test will examine knowledge from lab practices and preceding theoretical lesson(s) that introduce practices. Students that fail the test will have two more attempts. During the exam period of the respective semester, four terms for lab practice test will be announced. 4) In case of distance teaching, students are also required to attend at least 80% of the online lab practices to get the credits. The presence of the students will be controlled at the beginning, as well as during the online lab practices. The online lab practice will contain a video demonstrating the planned lab work as well as an online lab practice test. Students that fail the practice test will have two more attempts. During the exam period of the respective semester, four terms for lab practice test will be announced.
