I. General
· Attendance at lectures and practical classes is mandatory.
· Practicals begin at 3,00 p.m. and student is required to be in his seat 5 minutes before the beginning of the class.
· Each student is allowed one absence (medically excused) from one practical class. Medical excuse or any other valid official reason is required. A second absence will constitute reason for dismissal.
· A clean, dry pair of indoor shoes (not boots) is required. If a student does not have clean shoes, he can purchase disposable shoe covers. Backpacks and coats must be stored away from the working area.
· White lab coats must be worn for all practical classes.
· No eating, drinking or smoking in the laboratory at any time.
· In case of injury, report it immediately to the instructor.
· The clean-up procedure for each practical class will be explained at the beginning of the course.
· Deadline for sending via email a full-text medical article plus its Medline (Current Contents) record is December 5th 2014. The topic of the article may be used in the final semestral presentation.
II. Credit
The credit for Medical Biology practical classes in winter semester consists of:
· Completed workbook. Workbook presented during credit session must have an appropriate external form; i.e. be clean, intact as it has status of official document. In case of any workbook damage or loss, the student has to acquire a new one from the department against financial compensation.
· Final test with minimal scoring grade of 75 % (there is one final test and in case of its failure, there are two more retakes).
· Bibliographic record plus fulltext of selected biomedical article (winter term)
· Presentation of selected topic (winter term)
Cheating during any form of biology exam (credit test and oral examination) including preparatory period is not tolerated! Use of any electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, notebooks, phablets etc.), unauthorized materials or communication with other students in these instances is strictly prohibited! After selecting final exam questions it is not allowed to leave the room and when necessary an escort will be provided. In case of failure to comply with these rules, student will be classified "failed". Appointments for respective credits are scheduled to winter examination period (January 19th 2015 - February 15th 2015) and summer examination period (June 1st 2015 - June 30th 2015) and during September (1st - 22th 2015), each week on Thursdays from 2 to 3 pm only. Each student has to sit credit at least once in winter examination period. Generally, in case of failure in credit (i.e. final test or incomplete manual), the next possible chance is after one week!!!! The students who seek the exemption from practical classes in medical biology and genetics have to submit their request before the start of practical classes. Their request must be accompanied by a detailed syllabus of biology course they had completed which will be evaluated by the head of the department of medical biology and genetics.
