Teaching methods
Lectures with a demontration of the taught topic by means of demonstration videos and programs that are available for the students on web page of this course.
Assessment methods
The final exam is in the form of written test, which contains three questions, one from the static biochemistry, one from enzymology and one from metabolism and bioenergetics. The test also contains four chemical formulas of basic biochemical compounds, student should recognise them and write something about their functions. The time for the test is one hour, the grade are A to F on the basis of each question classification.
