Rules on how to obtain the credit in Histology and General Embryology in the summer semester of the academic year 2023/24

 

 

  1. A 100% attendance of practical courses as well as good results of the continuously performed knowledge tests (only 2 excused absences are allowed).
  2. Those students, who are enrolled to present their histological slides in the summer semester, have to fulfill also this requirement.
  3. If the student has more than two unexcused absences or his/her continuous results are not satisfactory, the teacher of the study group can re-examine him/her to meet the conditions.
  4. Re-examinations take place during the practical course in the 15th week of the summer semester. After a mutual agreement with the teacher, the term can be arranged during the whole 15th week with regards to lack of capacity and time.
  5. If the student fails to get the credit towards the end of the summer semester he/she can fix up a term of re-examination in the summer exam period. The precise term is determined by the teacher and it is binding for both sides.
  6. It is possible to get the credits only until the end of the regular summer exam period, i.e. June 28, 2024.
  7. Exceptions to the rules are possible only in case of e.g. documented illness. The Head of the Institute can give permission to fulfill conditions 2 and 3 after June 28, 2024 upon a written application.
  8. Credits from both semesters are necessary for admission to the exam in Histology and General Embryology.

Requirements for obtaining the winter semester credit from Histology and General Embryology in the academic year 2023 /2024

 

1.      A student has to attend 100% of the practical courses (a teacher can tolerate 2 justified absences). In addition, good study results throughout the semester are required including the practical knowledge of histological slides. In case of more absences or bad results from the tests during the semester, there is a possibility of obtaining the credit after an oral exam by the group teacher. This reexamination will take place based on the agreement with the teacher during the 15th week of the winter semester or during the exam period of the winter semester. In case of not obtaining the credit before the end of winter exam period, the student can get it together with the summer semester credit at the end of the summer semester based on the agreement with the teacher.

2.      An independent requirement for the credit is a successful fulfillment of the credit test, which will take place in the regular term during the 15th week of the winter semester. Retake of this credit test can take place in the first or the fourth week of the exam period of the winter semester. Only two attempts will be allowed for the credit test altogether. For those students who fail the credit test twice there will be a possibility of an oral reexamination by the committee. The terms for oral reexaminations will be opened during the summer semester.

3.      The third requirement for earning the credit is a demonstration of one histological slide during the practical lesson of the winter or the summer semester by each student.

4.      The credit is a prerequisite for admission to the exam from Histology and General Embryology.

Head of the Department of Histology and Embryology

 

The final credit test from the winter semester of Histology a general embryology

 

1) Final credit test evaluates the theoretical knowledge achieved during the winter semester in these topics – histological technique, cytology (structure and function of cell) and general histology.

2) The final credit test will take place separately for each study group during the 15th week of the winter semester at the time of scheduled practical lesson of the corresponding study group (specific details will be obtained from a teacher of the group).

3) The test consists of 30 single best answer questions.

4) To pass the test a student has to obtain at least 18 points.

5) In case a student fails to pass the test at the 15th week of the winter semester, there will be a possibility to retake the test in one of the two available terms during the winter exam period (Wednesday January 24th and Wednesday February 14th). For these retakes it is possible to register based on individual choice through teachers of the group. The registration is binding and absences have to be excused. More tests in this written form will not be available.

6)   In case a student fails to pass the written test on retake, there will be a possibilty to fulfil this requirement for the credit in an oral test in front of the committee. The terms of these oral retakes will be available during the summer semester based on the actual need. The failure in this oral retake will result in the definitive failure to obtain the winter semester credit. Symbol „K“ will be marked in the SIS and it will be impossible to take the final exam from Histology and General Embryology and thus this subject will not be fulfilled in the corresponding academic year.

General rules of exams at the Institute of Histology and Embryology in the subject Histology and General Embryology

 

 

Point (1)

Specifying the examination dates

 

The dates of examination will be announced until March 26, 2024. They will be entered in the SIS. All dates, on which the exam can be taken will be announced in advance. This number of dates will be definitive.

 

The examination dates will be set in the following periods:

 

- preterm

- terms in the regular examination period of the summer semester and part of the summer holidays (i.e. from 3.6.2024  to 4.7.2024).

- terms in the summer holidays will be opened after the end of the first part of the regular summer exam period

-      terms in September will be opened after the end of the summer holiday exams.

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

 

The last term can be held not later than two weeks before the beginning of the next academic year (see the faculty rules). After that, no more exams can be performed or terms applied for, even if not all possible terms/resits offered have been taken.

 

 

 

Point (2)

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 groups of terms. For regular summer semester exam period the terms will open on 2.4.2024.

 

 

A student can only take the exam if registered for the term in 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.

(These will be specified by the particular Institute but must be in accordance with the Rules, Article 12, Subsection 2, and Article 15, Subsection 8)

 

 

Point (3)

Failure to turn up for examination and apology

 

The student who fails to turn up for the examination that he/she has registered for and does not apologize in advance is classified as “fail” and the term is lost. It is possible to register for another term in case other conditions allow that (available free terms etc.). The student must apologise to the head of the institute.

The student will be informed about acceptance of the apology.

The head of the institute can require specification of the apology or its reasons if he finds the apology insufficient. The late apology can be accepted only in serious and justified situations.

 

 

Point (4)

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 (Regulations, Article 8, Subsection 14). However, if the student does not exploit the above options within the set examination dates, this does not entitle him/her to a special date of examination to be appointed for him/her personally (ibid.).

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 (September 13, 2024). No extraordinary terms or “Dean’s terms” are allowed.

Additional rules for re-examination may be included here, as specified by particular Institutes.

 

 

Point (5)

Rules pertaining to the course of examination

 

The specific rules and regulations for the course of examination are published elsewhere.

 

 

INFORMATION ABOUT EXAMS FROM HISTOLOGY AND GENERAL EMBRYOLOGY

 

The final exam will be in combined form and it will consist of two parts:

1st  a written theoretical test

2nd  apractical exam of histological slides

 

These two parts of exam will always take place in this order and students have to take both

parts of exam on one day. To continue with the second part it is necessary to succeed in the first part by reaching the minimal threshold of acquired points (see below).

1st part – a written theoretical test:

1) Students have to be present in front of the exam room at the time announced on the SIS.

2) Only those students who will be able to prove their identity by the student identity card will be let into the exam room and will be allowed to take the exam test.

3) A written test consists of 70 questions. The questions cover all the topics from the winter and the summer semester and also include the knowledge of microscopical structures and schemes of microscopical structure as well as embryonic development. Student has to select one correct answer from 4 possible alternatives and mark it according to instructions (single best answer).

4) The students will start to answer the test questions only after they are allowed to by an examiner. There will be a time limit 75 min to answer all the questions. Students have to work independently. Any help or use of any notes, study materials and electronic devices is strongly forbidden, while relevant rules will be followed in this case a). After the answering of the questions is started no student will be allowed to leave the examination room b).

5) After the time limit runs out, the examiner will terminate the test.

 

Evaluation of the 1st part of the exam

For each correctly answered question a student gets 1 point. For each incorrectly answered question a student gets 0 points. Minimum to pass the test is 49 pts. 

Announcement of results of the 1st part of the exam

Students will learn the result of the first part of the exam immediately after the test is evaluated. Those students who did not get over the minimal score will be marked as “failed” and their exam will be finishedc). Those who reached the limit will continue with the 2nd part of the exam on the same day according to the schedule announced by examiners. The study and revision of the evaluated exam tests will not be allowed (not even in the future).

 

2nd part of the exam – practical exam of knowledge of histological slides

Students will be assigned to individual examiners based on the examiner’s decision. The basis of the practical exam is histological slide test during which the student has to identify organ (tissue), staining and prove his/her knowledge of basic as well as specific structures on 3 microscopical slides. Each of the slides is evaluated independently.  To pass the 2nd part of the exam, a student has to get a minimal score and correctly identify at least one histological slide.

 

Exam classification

 

The final classification is a result of the total score from both parts of the exam. In case minimal requirements are not met in any part of the exam, it is classified as “failed”.

 

Obtained score and classification:

1st part – maximum 70 points

0-48 points – minimum score is not reached, classified as “failed”

49-70 points – minimum score reached – possibility to continue the exam

2nd part – maximum 30 points

0-14 points minimum score is not reached, classified as “failed”

15-30 points minimum score reached

The points are given for the correct identification of the organ/tissue, identification of the histological staining used, knowledge of structures in the given histological slide. In case none of the slides is identified correctly, the requirements to pass the 2nd part of the exam are not met and the exam is classified as “failed”. To pass the 2nd part of exam, the student must recognize at least one slide and reach at least 15 points.

 

Final exam classification according to the total score:

0 – 66 points classified as “fail”

67-76 points classified as “good”

77-88 points classified as “very good”

89-100 points classified as “excellent”

 

 

 

Exam retakes (reparative attempts)

The general rules for exam retakes are published elsewhere. Exam is not passed and students has to retake the whole exam in the following cases:

1) failure in the first part of the exam

2) failure in the second part of the exam

3) failure to reach the minimal total score from both parts of the exam

 

 

a)  The dean’s measure no.19/2009 incl. corresponding Amendment no.1

 

b) A student can leave the room before the end of time limit due to a good reason (e.g. sudden indisposition) and with the approval of the examiner; however, the test has to be terminated and will be evaluated as it is.

 

c) In case the minimal score necessary to proceed to the 2nd part of the exam is reached neither in the regular, 2nd and 3rd attempt, the exam is not terminated and continues as an oral test. In this oral test, which takes places on the same day immediately following the evaluation of the first part, a student has to answer three questions taken form the list of exam topics on SIS. The student will get an appropriate amount of time to answer the questions. In case of insufficient knowledge, the exam will be terminated and classified as “failed”. In case the student demonstrates at least minimal required theoretical knowledge, the first part of the exam will be fulfilled and the student will proceed to the 2nd part on the same day with minimal amount of required points (this oral exam will not be classified independently).
