end-course (professional) assessment for the students.
b. Formative assessment will be done through
results of term final examination and class attendance.
Course objectives: At the end of the
course in Biochemistry the students should be able to -
❖ acquire
the basic & integrated knowledge on major biomolecules, enzymes, hormones
and nutrients with fundamental chemical process within body system upon which
life depends.
❖ demonstrate
skills in performing and interpreting Biochemistry laboratory tests and
procedures with emphasis on those used in Bangladesh.
❖ demonstrate
skills in using the modern biochemical appliances.
❖ equip
themselves with requisite knowledge for higher studies and research.
❖ develop
sound attitude towards the need for continuing self-directed learning.
Course description: In MBBS course of Biochemistry the students will-
1) apply the learned knowledge of biochemistry
in medicine.
