Immunology
I thought this was the best course, it was well structured and planned, and I personally like the content, and especially the seminars were very useful, where we were in groups of 12 or so, with a teacher, and we went through questions on the subject at hand. Exam was open book, an interesting experience.
Infectious agents and Immunity
This course had great labs, and project work that was really fun and interesting, and again the content was interesting and well structured. Exam was like a normal KI exam, no open book.
Physiology
This was less structured, with more self study and fewer seminars, although questions were still provided and gone through. Very detailed with the renal and urinary systems. No labs, apart from histology, which was quite disappointing. The exam was split into two parts, first was multiple choice, the second being multiple choice with 5 long answer questions afterwards. The grading system for the multiple choice was odd, as 50% correct answers did not correspond to a 50% mark, but to a lower mark, around 40%
Electrophysiology
This was an interesting course, and allowed us to write our own paper about a specific topic relating to electrophysiology, which was a good way to interest us in the subject, and provided a deep insight into the topic. The essay was the graded part, 5000 words.
BAST
Biomedical Academic Scientific Training was a course intended to provide a look at what we could be doing in the future in research, what life is like as a researcher and how funding and projects get approved. It was a great way to find out about what goes on behind research, as well as requirements for certain positions, and how research is structured. Presentations and reports were graded, no examination.
CIS
Communication in Science was about helping us become more proficient at reading and interpreting scientific articles as well as how to write and present ourselves, with several presentations performed. These were graded, no final examination.
