Teaching and learning methods
Teaching will be by 20 lectures, with revision support provided as drop-in sessions.
Two compulsory practicals will provide students with an understanding of key techniques that help us understand how proteins are made and degraded, and also common approaches to expressing genes of interest. The write ups from these practicals will be assessed formatively, with further summative assessment under examination conditions.
Students will also attend two tutorials. In the first, students will have beforehand answered an essay question under exam conditions. The tutorial will then discuss an optimal answer. In the second, each student will present a single slide "flash" presentation on an aspect of eukaryotic gene expression.
