Objectives of the Course This course aims to enable students to understand new generation technologies and modern research approaches by following current issues and developments in the field of molecular biology. Students are developed in their skills of reading, analyzing and discussing scientific publications.
Course Content Major Breakthroughs in Molecular Biology in the Last 10 Years

How to Read and Evaluate Scientific Literature
Course Methods and Techniques Basic concepts and theoretical information are directly transferred by the instructor.

Especially introductory procedures in the sections (atomic structure, macromolecules, cell components, etc.) are used.

Advantage: Much information is transferred in a short time.
Question and answer is used to increase active reduction in the lesson.

It is applied at the end of the subject or during the lesson to collect the information and to reinforce the information.
