| D.9. Key Learning Outcomes | Contrubition level* | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
| 1. Accesses medical literature on basic and clinical immunology and -related fields and evaluates them. | X | ||||
| 2. Gains the necessary theoretical knowledge for their research and formulates hypotheses. Conducts research on immune system components and molecular structures, plans the appropriate methodology. | X | ||||
| 3. Investigates gene structures from molecular literature studies, demonstrates them through sequence analysis, interprets the data, reaches conclusions, and publishes these findings. | X | ||||
| 4. Demonstrates comprehensive and systematic knowledge on basic immunology, including understanding immunological mechanisms, immune system components, and their functions, also possesses knowledge in molecular genetics and biology. | X | ||||
| 5. Utilizes current statistical approach to evaluate the obtained data. Presents research at national and international conferences and publishes findings under mentorship. | X | ||||
| 6. Analyzes published immunological findings, proposes timely and effective solutions to encountered challenges in the laboratory, or communicates with researchers for solutions. | X | ||||
| 7. Upon completion of the basic immunology master's program, the student, under the guidance of their consultant, drafts a research proposal adhering to ethical guidelines, determines the budget, provides feedback on projects authored by other researchers, participates in collaborative projects from the planning stage, offers insights, suggests changes, and presents alternative solutions. | X | ||||
