BIOLOGY AND GENETICS<br />
• Molecular methods in laboratory medicine and identification <strong>of</strong> disease<br />
genes<br />
• Paternity and person identification using molecular genetic methods.<br />
To evaluate <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired by <strong>the</strong> students during practicums, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
passed written tests after <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> subsequent part . Successful passing <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>se tests set students free from answer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se questions during oral examination<br />
later.<br />
Practicums for students <strong>of</strong> medicine and stomatology are supervisored by<br />
docent Ruth Mikelsaar and assistants Gunnar Tasa and Mart Uusküla.<br />
Exams. To evaluate <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired by <strong>the</strong> students <strong>the</strong>y had an oral<br />
examination,and an additional written tests for those students who did not<br />
pass successfully all tests after practical works.<br />
Genetics<br />
The teaching <strong>of</strong> genetics for nursery students has been fully as a lecture<br />
course <strong>of</strong> medical genetics: 2 hours <strong>of</strong> lectures per week.<br />
The topics have been:<br />
• The molecular basis <strong>of</strong> human genetics<br />
• Human chromosomes<br />
• Chromosome aberrations<br />
• Formal genetics: mendelian diseases<br />
• Mitochondrial diseases<br />
• Multifactorial inheritance and disease<br />
• Cancer genetics<br />
• Pharmacogenetics<br />
• Genetic consultation<br />
• Gene <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
Lectures in “ Genetics” for nursery students were tought by pr<strong>of</strong>.Aavo-Valdur<br />
Mikelsaar .<br />
Evaluation. To evaluate <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired by <strong>the</strong> students <strong>the</strong>y had a<br />
written test for 3 main topics <strong>of</strong> lectures.<br />
2. How have <strong>the</strong> aims and objectives described in <strong>the</strong> curriculum changed<br />
during <strong>the</strong> past five years?<br />
Biology<br />
1. From <strong>the</strong> academic year 1999/2000 <strong>the</strong> course <strong>of</strong> “Biology” is compressed<br />
to one semester (before it lasts two semesters) and <strong>the</strong> total amount <strong>of</strong><br />
subject is decreased from 7 CP to 6 CP.<br />
