Learning Outcomes
Student can explain the basic mechanisms of cellular electrophysiology and mechanobiology and the inter-cell communication underlying these physical phenomena. Student can explain the bioelectric and mechanobiological phenomena of various cell types such as neuronal cells in nervous system and cardiac cells in heart. Student can explain the common methods to measure and model bioelectric and mechanobiological systems. Finally, student can also describe the basics of modelling of these cellular phenomena and design simple computational models. .

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.
