Criteria for exam assesment

In order to obtain the grade 12, the student must demonstrate the following abilities at a sufficient level:

Knowledge

  • Explain physiology and regulatory mechanisms related to normal and pathological conditions
  • Understand mathematical/physics concepts underlying modeling approach
  • Understand computational algorithms behind scripts related to biosimulations
  • Understand assumptions and simplifications needed to build a reliable model
  • Understand dynamical/statistical features of the model and their relevance to certain pathological conditions

 

Skills

  • Review of scientific literature on physiological modeling and related data analysis, critically assess the use of methods and obtained results
  • Discuss reproducibility and comparability of relevant computational models and approaches
  • Perform theoretical and computational analysis of dynamical patterns of physiological models and reveal parameters responsible for pathological conditions
  • Optimize/develop computation algorithms to perform biosimulations
  • Convey results into a scientifically written report and a Power Point presentation
