Physics of transport processes in biological systems

General data

Course ID:	1100-3BO18
Erasmus code / ISCED:	(unknown) / (unknown)
Course title:	Physics of transport processes in biological systems
Name in Polish:	Fizyka procesów transportu w układach biologicznych
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Physics
Course groups:	ESOO - European programme in ophthalmic optics and optometry; 3rd year courses
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
