- you must follow the task instructions
- you must submit your task by the due date. Late submissions will not be accepted and will result in failure to successfully complete the course.


The student should:
know the basics of infection control and prevention
recognize the most common microbes and the ways these are transmitted
have a good understanding of the aseptic working manner and principles of aseptics
be able to apply evidence-based knowledge in infection control

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Content: Aseptics and microbiology
Possible study and teaching methods include lectures, workshops, group work, independent study, virtual learning environment, a final written exam on both subjects

Microbiology: lectures are organized as considered best by the teacher.
