Objectives

• To understand the microorganism-host interaction as well as the role of microorganisms in Human disease.
• To know different methods and the general principles of microbial growth control.
• To know the oral normal microbialflora and the etiology of oral infections
• To know and understand the laboratorial methods and techniques used in oral microbiota diagnostic.

Eligibility for exams

Students must attain at least 2/3 of all lectures and practical sessions.
Minimal classification of continuous evaluation = 4,5 in 10 (see evaluation components in “Provas e Trabalhos Especiais”)

Calculation formula of final grade

Exams classifications + Continuous evaluation
Minimal classification = 9,5 in 20.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Evaluation components:

- Written exam (50% of final evaluation)
Classification = 10. Minimal classification = 4,75.

- Continuous evaluation (50% of final evaluation)
o 1 Mini-test (15%)
Classification = 3,0. Minimal classification = 1,5.
o Theoretical work presentation(10%):
Classification = 2,0. Minimal classification = 1,0.
o Weekly reports (5%):
Classification = 1,0. Total of 6 reports will be requested. There is no minimal classification in each report, however the mean of all reports classification should be over than 0,5.
o Practical work (15%):
Classification = 3,0. It will be evaluated:
o weekly discussion and laboratorial performance
Classification = 1,5. Minimal classification = 0,75.
o Final report
Classification = 1,5. Minimal classification = 0,75.
o Scientific paper search and discussion (5%):
Classification = 1.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The rules established by Pedagogic Council will be applied.

Classification improvement

In the especial evaluation period (Época de recurso) it will be possible to improve the classification of the written exam and Mini-test.
