Entry requirements
Basic knowledge of physics, adequate knowledge of calculus, chemistry, cell biology, immunology and physiology.
Description
The last module of BFW-2 is concluded with a research practical and integrated literature assignment in the field of vaccine technology, in which the theoretical knowledge gained from the subject 'Biopharmacy and Physics' is applied in a scientific (literature) study. With the support of LabBuddy, students will independently design a study as much as possible and carry it out in research teams in order to then analyze and interpret their own data using the learned statistical methods in BFW-2. Under learning objectives, you can see what is tested:
Learning objectives
The student is able to prepare and carry out reproducible independent scientific research within the research theme of biopharmacy and physics under supervision.
The student is able to conduct scientific research within a research team by jointly agreeing on a division of tasks and critically assessing their own experimental data and those of team members.
The student is able to evaluate, report and discuss scientific results, both orally and in the form of a report.
The student is able to apply theoretical knowledge gained in the course Biopharmacy and Physics to the design of a scientific study and to the interpretation of scientific results.
Schedule
In MyTimetable (after login) you can find all course and programme timetables, with which you can compile the largest part of your timetable (rooms and times). Educational activities for which you have registered via MyStudymap are automatically shown in your timetable. In addition, you can easily link MyTimetable to a calendar app on your phone and timetable changes are automatically implemented in your calendar; In addition, you will receive a notification of the change by e-mail if you wish (set under 'Settings' after login).

PLEASE NOTE:
In MyTimetable we cannot display all timetable information at the moment, so ALWAYS CHECK TOO
the overview schedule on the Brightspace module ['Bachelor Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences'] ( https://brightspace.universiteitleiden.nl/d2l/home/7205) for a compact overview of the structure of each academic year, including timing of resits and study-related activities such as information, symposia, etc.. AND
the detailed schedule on the Brightspace module of each course (after registration), 2-3 weeks before a course starts. Your personal detailed schedule may deviate, e.g. due to splitting into groups, interim deadlines, guest lecturers, etc.. The detailed schedule of the course on Brightspace is leading.
Mode of instruction
Practical and literature assignment, argumentation assignment.
Assessment and weighting
The final grade of this practical is made up of the following sub-marks:
Impression grade (35%), including preparation, experimental skill and active participation in working and discussion groups.
Reporting (65%)
Literature assignment (pass or fail) evaluated through a literature panel discussion.
Additional conditions are:
1) Each individual component must score at least a 5.5.
2) The weighted non-rounded average of the individual marks must be at least 6.0.
The assessment rubrics are available in BrightSpace.
An unsatisfactory exam may be retaken under the following conditions:
1) Insufficient for impression grade = entire practical resit in another academic year.
2) Insufficient for reporting = one-time resit report in the same academic year, provided the impression grade is a pass.
3) Insufficient for literature assignment (fail) = one-time resit literature assignment in the same academic year, provided the impression grade is a pass.
N.B. If the resit for reporting or literature assignment is again an unsatisfactory grade, the coordinator may revoke the impression grade, and the entire practical will have to be taken again in another academic year.
A pass for a practical exercise may never be retaken. Retaking a pass for reporting is only allowed if the student has not yet made use of the opportunity to resit a pass mark once during the BSc programme (this applies to all BSc courses in total!). The student must submit a request to the BFW Examination Board.

Software
From the academic year 2024/2025, the Faculty of Science will work with the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through the platform, you can access the software you need for certain courses in your study. Some software requires your laptop to meet certain system requirements. This is indicated in the software. It is important that you install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop profile can be found on the student website.
