Requirements to the exam - Czech

 

 

 

Final exams from Histology and General Embryology (B83006)

 

in the academic year 2019/2020

 

 

 

Point (1) General conditions

 

These regulations are in line with Studies and Examination Regulations of Charles University, Rules for Organization of Studies at the First Faculty of Medicine and corresponding Dean’s measures.

 

 

 

Point (2)

 

Specifying the examination dates

 

 

 

The dates of examination will be announced until May 6, 2020. They will be entered in the SIS. All dates, on which the exam can be taken will be specified. This number of dates will be definitive. There will be terms for in person as well as distance examination. The proportion of terms for both forms of exam will remain the same during the regular exam period and the ratio will be subject to change until the opening of dates in the summer and autumn.  

 

 

 

The examination dates will be set in the following periods:

 

-           preterm

 

-           terms in the regular examination period of the summer semester (i.e. from 8.6.2020  to 10.7.2020).

 

-           terms in the summer holidays ( 27. 7. - 31. 7. a 10. 8. - 14. 8. 2020) will be opened after the end of the regular summer exam period

 

-           terms in September (31. 8. - 18. 9. 2020) will be opened after the end of the summer holiday exams.

 

-           No more terms will be added and their capacity will not be increased.

 

 

 

Point (3)

 

Rules for registration for exams and cancellation

 

 

 

The start of registration for specific examination dates will be entered in SIS, and it will be different in particular blocks of terms. For regular summer semester exam period, the terms will open on 11.5.2020.

 

 

 

A student can only take the exam if registered for the term in SIS. In case of full capacity, the students can be invited via email to come at specific time on the day of exam (because of regulations during COVID-19 pandemic). In case no specific time will be given, students should come at the time announced on SIS.  

 

 

 

Registration for an exam is not determined by obtaining the credit but taking the exam is.

 

 

 

Deadlines for registration for particular examination dates and for cancellation will be entered into SIS.

 

 

 

Point (4)

 

Failure to turn up for examination and apology

 

 

 

The student who fails to turn up for the examination (in person or distance examination) that he/she has registered for is not evaluated and the term is lost. After this fact is entered in SIS, the student can register for another available term on SIS.

 

The student must apologize within the next 7 days to the principal teacher of the subject in writing or in electronic mail, giving and substantiating the reasons for the apology.

 

The principal teacher of the subject can require specification of the apology or its reasons if he/she finds the apology insufficient.

 

The student will be informed whether the apology is accepted or not. The collision with another exam is not an acceptable excuse.

 

 

 

Point (5)

 

Re-examinations

 

A student can take an examination in a subject for three times as a maximum, i.e. the student is entitled to two re-examinations, and no extraordinary terms beyond that are allowed. However, if the student does not exploit the above options within the set examination dates, this does not entitled him/her to a special date of examination to be appointed for him/her personally.

 

No more examination dates (“terms”) will be set.

 

Further, no examinations can be taken after the end of the second part of the regular examination period in September, or after the last term announced. No extraordinary terms or “Dean’s terms” are allowed.

 

 

 

Point (6)

 

Rules pertaining to the course of examination from Histology and General Embryology – in person examination

 

 

 

The exam is oral and takes place in person in front of the exam committee consisting of two members. The current epidemiological regulations with respect to COVID-19 pandemics will be observed.

 

The students will be allocated to different exam committees by the head of the department or the teacher authorized to do so.

 

Before the start, the student has to prove its identity with the student card on any valid legal document with the photo.

 

A student will draw one exam question from each of the three major groups of questions as announced on SIS in Requirements (3 questions in total). This is an official start of the exam and after that, it is not possible to leave the exam room without examiner’s permission. The questions drawn constitute a framework for the oral exam. Student has to answer the questions without further delay. Due to simultaneous possibility of in person and distance exam, there will be no time to prepare the answers in written form. Each question is evaluated independently, while students are also expected to demonstrate the overall knowledge of the subject (see Requirements and Syllabus). An integral part of the oral exam is knowledge of basic histological structures, which can be demonstrated by providing drawings, identification of structures on drawings and microscopical images etc.

 

The student has to be present at the exam without interruption. If a student has to make a break e.g. for health or similar reasons, new questions have to be drawn to replace those, which were not yet completed. During the exam, the dean’s measure no.19/2009 incl. corresponding Amendment no.1 has to be respected.

 

 

 

Point (7)

 

Rules pertaining to the course of examination from Histology and General Embryology – distance examination

 

Terms for distance examination are subject to the dean’s measure no.5/2020

 

These terms are reserved for students, who are unable to take part in person due to COVID-19 pandemics and subsequent measures at the level of individual government policies.

 

Only those students can register for the distance exam, who until the deadline for registration for the particular term will deliver (via email) to the head of the department a written declaration stating the necessity to take the distance examination.

 

The only acceptable situations are as follows:

 

- impossibility to enter the Czech Republic due to restrictions imposed by the Government of the Czech Republic or by the state, where the student is forced to stay until the date of exam

 

- impossibility to travel to the Czech Republic due to the lack of transport connections (mainly in case of countries without borders with the Czech Republic) at the time of the exam term

 

- forced quarantine after the arrival to the Czech Republic from abroad, which would collide with the exam term

 

Students who will not manage to deliver the declaration until deadline for the registration will be erased from the list of students for the particular date. Students will not be urged to deliver declarations. After the late delivery of declaration, it will be possible to register for the nearest available term as long as the conditions remain unchanged. In case of repeated registration (re-take or after excused absence) the declaration has to be delivered again.  

 

The general rules for the distance examination are the same like for in person examination. The course of distance exam is furthermore subject to the dean’s measure no.5/2020.

 

 

 

The distance examination is oral and is comparable to the in person examination.

 

Student who wants to take part in distance examination has to register for the reserved term - it will be indicated in the notes for the term. By registration to this special term the student also confirms the possibility to use the necessary technical means for this type of exam (hardware, software, internet connection). Technical aspects for this form of exam from Histology and Embryology will be described elsewhere and correspond to the dean’s measure no.5/2020. In addition, students registered for the distance exam will receive instructions one day ahead of the exam term.
