Student workload

Upstream Processing -Theory 1.5 cr (operations before the cell culture in a bioreactor and bioreactions in different bioreactors), Instructed by Sari Airenne:
Group Task 1 is based on the provided lecture materials (in Optima), Group Task 2 on provided and linked review articles and Individual Task includes questions on the lectures of a visiting professor and on the presentations of the other groups in Group Tasks 1 & 2.Group Task 1 & 2 reporting also includes an oral presentation.
The deadlines for the Group Task 1 & 2 reports are based on the presentation schedule (provided in Optima) and the reports have to be returned before coming to the class for the presentation.
Downstream processing: to be updated
Laboratory work: to be updated
