Teaching & Learning
Uncover the Science Behind Immunity, Infection & Innovation
Course Structure
Lectures (10 hours/week):
Covering core microbiology topics such as microbial physiology, genetics, immunology, and applied microbiology. Some modules may include guest lectures from specialists in related fields.
Independent Study (40-60 hours/week):
- Reading textbooks & research papers to reinforce lecture concepts
- Laboratory reports & assignments based on experimental work
- Group discussions & presentations to enhance understanding
- Online quizzes & problem-solving exercises for self-assessment
Lab Work :
Hands-on experience with microbial cultures, staining techniques, biochemical tests, and molecular methods.
Study Tips for Success
Make a Study Schedule: Plan your weekly study time to balance lectures, lab work, and independent study.
Take Effective Notes: Summarize key concepts and create flashcards for microbial classifications and pathways.
Engage in Active Learning: Discuss with peers, attempt case studies, and practice problem-solving.
Stay Updated with Research: Read scientific journals like Nature Microbiology or Journal of Bacteriology.
Use Online Resources: Platforms like NCBI, Khan Academy, and Coursera offer supplementary materials.
Assessment
Your assessment will include a mix of coursework and exams, such as:
- Assignments – Likely individual or group work
- Internal Assessment Tests – Periodic tests to track progress
- Model Examinations – Practice exams before final assessments
- Student Seminars – Presentations or discussions led by students
