BIOTECH 7009 - Advanced Microscopy Imaging and Analysis

North Terrace Campus - Winter - 2024

?Advanced Microscopy Imaging and Analysis? is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the principles and applications of microscopy techniques in the field of biotechnology. The course will cover the fundamentals of light microscopy, electron microscopy, and other advanced microscopy techniques used in biomedical research. The course will be delivered through a combination of workshops, and practical sessions. The workshops will provide students with a theoretical understanding of the principles of microscopy, including the physical principles underlying different imaging techniques, the different types of microscopes, and their applications in biomedical research. The practicals will provide students with hands-on experience in using different types of microscopes, such as light microscopes, electron microscopes, and introduce advanced microscopy techniques. Students will also learn how to prepare samples for microscopy and use image analysis software to analyse microscopy data. The practical sessions will provide students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in a research setting. Students will work in small groups to design and carry out microscopy experiments, analyse data, and present their findings to the class. Throughout the course, students will learn about the latest advances in microscopy techniques and their applications in biomedical research. They will also gain an understanding of the challenges associated with microscopy experiments and how to troubleshoot common problems. Upon completion of the course, students will have a solid understanding of the principles and applications of microscopy in biomedical research. They will be able to design and carry out microscopy-based experiments, analyse data, and communicate their findings effectively to others. They will also be well-prepared for further study or research in the field of biotechnology.

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
