Continuous assessment of course work
REMOTE

Die Plätze dieser LV werden vorrangig an Studierende des Bachelorstudiums Ernährungswissenschaften vergeben, die das Fach als Pflichtlehrveranstaltung im Curriculum (Modul 13.4) absolvieren müssen.
Im Falle einer VERHINDERUNG an der Teilnahme ist eine ABMELDUNG innerhalb der Abmeldefrist UNBEDINGT ERFORDERLICH, da bei Abbruch und unentschuldigtem Fernbleiben eine negative Bewertung erfolgt.
Abmeldungen außerhalb dieser Frist können nur mit Nachweis eines triftigen Grundes (z.B. Erkrankung) erfolgen.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Modus:
Due to the current Covid-situation, we decided to plan this histology course once again as online-learning event. Main reason is, that the microscope is used by several persons (e.g. when controlling if you really have found the correct structure in the sample) and thus is a main player transmitting infections (ocular!). In case of improving Covid-situation (3G sufficient) we are able to switch into onsite-mode. The decision will be made and communicated before Christmas 2021.
1) For the time slots of the online meetings (held via webex), see the published schedule.
You´ll find information on how to access the online meetings in a Moodle-course “Übungen zur Zytologie und Histologie” (see below).
Your participation in the meetings will be checked. You are allowed to skip two meetings maximum; contents of missed units have to be learned on one´s own.

2) A Moodle-course “Übungen zur Zytologie und Histologie” with all the information you need will be made public before Christmas.

3) Each unit of the course will consist of a PowerPoint presentation focussing on theoretical knowledge and of a “practical part” where we will use virtual microscopy. The virtual microscope of the Medical University of Vienna (https://m3e.meduniwien.ac.at/vm/ ) contains all samples, which are topic of the histology course for nutritional scientists.

4) In the last unit of this course, you usually (onsite learning) are free to have a look at all the slides you want to see once again. We have to modify this “free practical event” in the distance mode: Please have a thorough look at the samples beforehand on your own via virtual microscopy, mark down everything you are not sure about and pose your questions in the last online-unit of this practical course.

5) In addition to your active participation in our online meetings, you´ll have to pass a final exam. These exams will take place as oral digital exams. Dates from which you can choose will be published at the beginning of January.

Topic:
The focus of the practical course „Histology and Cytology “ is on the structure/function relationship of tissues and organ systems – most relevant for students of nutritional sciences: digestive tract + excretory system.
You will study histological slides via virtual microscopy; you will learn to diagnose the tissue/organ and to detect relevant structures within. The theoretical background will be presented via PowerPoint lectures in online sessions.

Assessment and permitted materials

active participation in the online units (absence from two units maximum is tolerated); oral exam via online meeting; dates from which you can choose will be published at the beginning of January

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

active participation in the course (2x absence with valid excuse permitted),
Oral exam:
What you should know:
1) Basic structures of tissue/organ: identify them, know the scientific terms and find them for yourself in the microscopic sample
2) Organ: be able to characterize overall and detailed structure
3) Cells: name and characterize the different types of cells in a tissue/organ
4) Cells-tissue-organ: structural/functional relations
5) Ultrastructure: cell-organelles/intracellular structures: structural/functional relations (examples discussed in the course)

Examination topics

microscopic diagnosis of the tissues and organs introduced in the course, questions relating to structure and function of the aforementioned tissues and organs

Reading list

You will find the powerpoint-presentations (pdfs) plus supplementary pictures in the Moodle-course.
