Objectives

It is intended that students have a vision and an integrated practice of 
various laboratorial methods used in the research area of biochemistry.

Subject matter

This course follows Biomolecular Techniques I, where the students have  acquired a knowledge of the different techniques used in Biochemistry .
 In this course , students will be faced with a project delivered by professor. During the semester, students will have to plan and execute the experimental work to carry out to achieve the project objectives .
 At the end of the experimental work the students have to write an  experimental protocol and do a public apresentation.
 The protocol apresented refers to an executable experimental work in 1-2  sessions (4-8 hours) for final year students of Biochemistry degree.

Evaluation method

The unit of Biomolecular Techniques II is set in CLIP , 
as a curricular unit Seminar. This means that the FCT 
Assessment Regulation is not applied . 

There is no Board of Examination . 
There is no possibility of improvement . 
There is no Special Season examination.
 
The evaluation method is as follows: 
At the beginning of the semester will be 
distributed among different groups of 
2 - 3 students, specific projects . 
The groups will have to begin by drawing 
up a plan of the practical work . 
After approval of this plan, the group 
using the various available experimental 
techniques , will perform their experimental work. 

There will be a tutorial system to monitor
 the experimental implementation of the project . 

The evaluation will be continuous and at 
the end students will have to do an oral 
presentation of the results.
