Topics are covered from macroscopic phenomena to the subcellular levels of learning. The course is designed to spread the knowledge using different accepted teaching methods (lecture, plenary lectures, small group learning, home group learning, self-directed online learning) in order to reveal basic differences in teaching and learning processes. One of the main goal of this course is to help student in understanding teaching and learning and to show them new aspects of learning veterinary knowledge.

Throughout the year, at least two open discussions (forums) are held, at which the advantages and disadvantages of the most common teaching methods are discussed with an interactive participation of the students.
