Course Code: HUM3315
Credits Hours: 3
Prerequisite Course: Academic English I (EGH1310) + Biostatistics (MTH3320)
Course Description:This course is an introduction to fundamentals of conducting research. It will teach the students different research methodologies, research designs and parts of the research paper. The curriculum is sequential, helping the students to identify study topics, formulate inquiry questions, organize a literature review, and select appropriate designs and methodologies. By the End of the course, students will complete a proposal that includes an introduction, problem statement (significance of study), literature review, methods section, references, and a project timeline. This work can be converted next year into a full research that will include the following sections: findings, discussion, conclusions, and references.

Prerequisite Course: Biochemistry and Lab (CHM2415C)
Course Description: It studies the principles, concepts and techniques of basic clinical chemistry laboratory testing of serum, plasma and other body fluids. Discusses the characteristics of laboratory reagents, supplies and methods used for the analysis of carbohydrates, proteins, electrolytes and other analyses that help to assess carbohydrate disorders, function, liver function, cardiovascular function, acid base balance and protein related disorders. It also includes advanced instrumentation principles and techniques, acid-base balance, advanced enzymology, endocrinology and toxicology.Also it studies the application of the theory of the procedures and techniques used for colorimetric, spectrophotometric and ultraviolet analysis of serum plasma and other body fluids for clinically significant substances. It also explores the principles of technique appropriate to the evaluation of methodology, acid-base balance, advanced enzyme quantification, endocrinology and toxicology.
Course Code: MLS4495
Credits Hours: 4
Prerequisite Course: Research Methodology HUM3315
Course Description: This course gives opportunity to students to design a real research proposal with coordination of their colleagues and instructors. Students prepare all parts of their proposal including a suitable title, background and methodology in a teamwork. Crucial criteria of research such as professional research attitude, teamwork, and ethical issues are all get discussed. Students may start their practical work in this course during their conducting of lab rotation program in hospitals. The proposed project must be approved by the department. Written reports, submission of the graduation project and final oral presentation is required.
