Selected topics. 23 May 15 26 May Credits. 30 May Neglected lessons have to be made up by the 15^th of June. Students are expected to come to the seminary room at least 5 minutes before the start of the lesson. Attendance in lessons is obligatory. All absences must be justified through the Department of study affairs. Illness is usually the only acceptable excuse for absence from class and must be officially confirmed. After being absent the student must make up the given topics according to the teachers instructions. If the student has been absent from three or more lessons without serious reasons, the course –unit credit will be not given. Conditions for giving the course-unit credit · full attendance in the all lessons · presentation of all lab reports to the teacher Obtaining of course-unit credits of practices is the pre-requisite for registration to the examination of Biochemistry II.
