Educational objectives "General aims
The objective of the course is to understand and learn the fundamental principles of Genetics and the significant impact of this discipline in terms of conceptual and practical applications in the biomedical, livestock, agricultural, and environmental fields. The course aims to develop the theoretical and methodological knowledge necessary to deepen the understanding of the genetic mechanisms that control biological systems. The knowledge and skills acquired will enable students to tackle more complex topics such as the structural and functional analysis of the genomes of animals and plants and the effects of environmental pollution on human health.
Specific aims
Students will learn the fundamental principles of Genetics and the specific symbols used in the discipline. They will understand the genetic basis of hereditary transmission, the consequences of alterations in human hereditary diseases, and the relationships between genotype, phenotype, and environment. Students will also comprehend the complex mechanisms controlling gene expression during differentiation and development, as well as the organization and function of genomes. Through laboratory experiences, students will develop the skills needed to critically address ethical and social issues related to the use of modern genetic techniques, such as genome editing.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the students will know the genetic basis of hereditary transmission and the relationships between genotype and phenotype. They will know and understand the complex mechanisms of gene expression control in differentiation and development and the organization and function of genomes. Another educational objective of the teaching of Genetics is to provide, also through laboratory experiences, the skills to be able to intervene critically on ethical and social aspects relating to the use of genetic methods for the treatment of diseases.
Critical and judgmental skills
To develop students' critical thinking, the teacher will stimulate discussion through questions and propose problems to be solved via exercises, ongoing tests, and discussions of scientific articles. This approach will allow students to acquire the ability to critically intervene on practical aspects and on ethical and social issues related to the effects of environmental pollution on human health.
Ability to communicate what has been learned
The evaluation of student’s preparation and understanding of the topics covered in the course will be conducted through an oral exam, which will include questions on specific topics from the syllabus, with the aim of verifying communication and reasoning skills.
Ability to continue the study independently
Thanks to the skills acquired during lessons and using the recommended textbooks, students will be able to independently study and deepen the topics covered. In addition, they will have access to the lecture slides (ppt files) and other teaching materials provided by the lecturer on the e-learning site.
