2. Educational goals and aims
Structures, properties and metabolism of substances present in the body: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic
acids, vitamins, hormones. Control and integration of metabolic pathways.
Objectives:
1. To develop a solid understanding of the fundamental chemistry
2. To provide an introduction to the principles of biochemistry that gives the students a command of its concepts.
3. To provide an explanation of the relationship between the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules and
their biological activities.
4. To give the insight into understanding how metabolic processes can contribute to explanation of pathological
phenomena.
5. To give the students experience in biochemical methodology in order to appreciate the clinical biochemistry
techniques as diagnostic tools, and to be able to interpret the results for appropriate diagnosis and follow up of
patients.

11. Additional Information
RULES:
Attendance:
Student is expected to:
- attend all lecture, laboratory classes, seminars and intermediate assessments on time
- be prepared for and participate in discussion during seminars and laboratory classes
In case of illness, emergency or other excusable absence student has to contact Prof. Iwonna
Rahden-Staroń, as soon as possible (no later than within a week).
Excused absences will require either prior approval, written verification or doctor’s certificate.
Unexcused absences from the laboratory classes, seminars and intermediate assessment/s and not
credited intermediate assessments will result in failing the entire course of biochemistry.
Evaluation:
Laboratory classes: Students knowledge, manual skills, participation and preparedness for the
laboratory are awarded with points (from 1 to 6) - 70% of the total number of point give the credit.
Only excused absence results in the possibility of the retake at the end of the spring semester (in
May).
Seminars: Students activity is awarded with grades from 2 to 5. Average grade of 3 (sat) or more
is needed to get the credit at the end of the course.
More than 3 absences from seminars (in both winter and spring semesters) will result in the
retake from all seminar topics at the end of the course (in May).
Two intermediate assessments: 55% of correct answers are needed to pass.
Unexcused absence (within a week) means failing.
Student can get the credit for the whole course if he/she credits laboratory classes, seminars and
assessment tests. Retake tests (II and III) are in May.
Final exam (in June) is mostly composed of multiple choice questions, however short answer
essay, matching and formulas may be included. The grade obtained from the final exam may be
increased for students who are very active during seminars, labs and have got high grades from
intermediate tests by the head of the Department.
Academic honesty: Cheating will not be tolerated! The minimum penalty for cheating will be zero
points for a test or exam.
