Biophysics is a course that has the duration of one semester. It is a combination of online lectures, seminars and in-person practical classes which occur once a week. 

The three main topics covered are radioactivity, optics and electromedicine. There will be a designated professor covering each topic and you will have 3 classes with them. 

You will conduct experiments and laboratory exercises that you will need to input the results of into your laboratory book, which must be signed by your professor at the end of each class. 

Attendance is mandatory and if you are absent you will have to make up for your missed classes. Participation is incredibly important in these classes as you can gain up to 2 bonus points per class, with a maximum of 18 points up for grabs, so you must come to class prepared on the content that will be covered during that class. Be ready to answer questions, ask your own questions and be engaged with the topic material. 

Remember your professor would much rather you answer and be wrong, than sit quietly and not make an attempt, as long as you show you’re eager to understand and learn you will be fine. These bonus points will be so important when it comes to sitting the colloquium as they not only help you reach the pass mark but can allow you the opportunity to get exempted from sitting the final exam.
