Assessment methods
Lecture attendance is optional. The course of Biology II builds on the knowledge gained from Biology I, and is completed with a written examination test taken on computers. The test contains questions based on the topics discussed in the lectures, seminars and practices of both semesters. The students are expected to be able to autonomously solve assigned problems and to derive the solutions using their own thinking – based on the theory discussed during both semesters and supplemented by the recommended reading. The test contains 60 questions in total; at least 30 points are needed to pass.

Assessment methods
Lecture attendance is optional. The course of Biology II builds on knowledge gained from Biology I, and is completed with a written examination test taken on computers. The test contains questions based on the topics discussed in the lectures, seminars and practices of both semesters. The students are expected to be able to autonomously solve assigned problems and to derive the solutions using their own thinking – based on the theory discussed during both semesters and supplemented by the recommended reading. The test contains 60 questions in total; at least 30 points are needed to pass.
