Parasite immunology is an advanced course that requires the basic knowledge in immunology and parasitology. This course is suitable for master and PhD students. Aim of the course is to provide information about host immune mechanisms operating against selected groups of parasites, including protozoa, helminths and ectoparasites. You will learn details about the relationship between parasites and particular host immune mechanisms, parasite immune evasion mechanisms and immunopathology of parasitic infections. |

Students can choose from two study evaluation options, while the transition from Option 1 to Option 2 is possible: Option 1 - Continuous assessment: Study control will take place continuously during the semester, in the form of short tests given for each lesson via the Moodle. It will be possible to complete the tests during the week following the given lesson. Students will be allowed to use all available materials/notes during the tests. For each test, students will have one attempt within the set time limit. It will be possible to obtain up to 20 points for each of the tests (12x20 = 240 points). One additional final test (30 points) will be assigned at the end of the semester (January 8, 2024); this one will cover all lessons. In total, students can get 12x20 + 30 = 270 points during the course. The final grade will be determined as follows: excellent (“1”) = 270-243 points, very good (“2”) = 242-189 points, good (“3”)= 188-162 points, failed (“4”)= 161-0 points. To indicate that the student selects Option 1 for his/her final evaluation, he/she has to enroll in SIS for the exam date on January 8, 2024. Option 2 - Exam: Three exam dates will be announced during the exam period. The exam will take place in the form of a written test. Students will NOT be allowed to use their materials/notes. The test may contain different types of tasks: multiple-choice, free-response, and others. In order to successfully pass the exam, it is necessary to obtain at least 60% points. The final grade will be determined as follows: excellent (“1”) = 90-100%, very good (“2”) = 71-89%, good (“3”) = 60-70%, failed (“4”) = 0-59%. In case the student will transit from Option 1 to Option 2, the points obtained during the continuous assessment tests (Option 1) do NOT count into the evaluation based on Option 2.
In case of justified requests, the student can take an oral examination.
