Obtaining a credit grade Credit will be given to the students, who fulfil the attendance requirements and have passed the examinations in each of the individual physiology system in that semester. Each semester that contains physiology has a single credit, i.e. there are two credits.
Attendance: Students are required to attend all practical (laboratory) classes; absence due to illness has to be supported with a doctor,s certificate. The number of legitimated absences may not exceed 15 % of all practical classes. If more that 15 % laboratory class per term are missed or in case of unexcused absence the situation will be supervised by the Head of the Department of Physiology. Students are not allowed to leave practical before it is officially finished by the teacher. Leaving practical earlier will be considered as unexcused absence.
Tests: At the end of laboratory classes in each system, a seminar will be held during which the students will be tested on that system. The test will be in the form of a multiple choice questionnaire. Those students who fail the test will take 1st correction test (the date will be announced in advance). There will be dates for 2nd correction at the end of winter or summer semester respectively. Students who give sufficient explanation why they could not take the test on regular date will take the test on date of 1st correction test. If, for these reasons, the student fails to consume all terms, a substitute term will be announced at the end of the semester. Third correction test will be on day of alternative practical exam (see Practical Exam) in the form of oral exam by a commission. In order to receive a credit, student must score at least "good" in all tests. Basic knowledge of recording and evaluation of ECG will be tested too. In order to receive a credit, student must score at least "good" in this test. The same rules mentioned above are applied for this test.
Practical examination: In the final laboratory class of the summer semester students will undertake a practical laboratory examination. For admission to the practical examination student must have credit in both winter and summer term. The timing of the practical examination is fixed and only in very exceptional circumstances and with the permission of the Head of the Department of Physiology, an alternative date can be set for an individual student/s. Absence on the practical examination due to illness has to be supported with a doctor's certificate. The alternative date is also for students who failed 2nd correction of one or more written test(s) and thus they cannot receive a credit. When attending the laboratory examination every student must produce the records and data from all the practical classes. Students select a question that will be one of the practical classes that the student has undertaken during the entire physiology course. In addition to demonstrating this practical technique(s) student will be expected to understand the background information which formed part of the original laboratory practical exercise. The practical exam has only one attempt. In the overall grade awarded in the final examinations, a result recorded in the practical exam will be taken into account.
Final examination in physiology For admission to final examination students must receive credits in both winter and summer term, complete practical examination and sign up for final examination (SIS system) The examination comprises an introductory written test, then oral exam follows. Re-examination comprise only the oral part. The number of announced dates for a regular term take into account the total number of students. More dates will be for the 1st and 2nd retake and will be anounced with regard to the current requirements. Use of electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, notebooks etc.). unauthorized materials or communication with other students is strictly prohibited. After selecting final exam question 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, students will be classified "failed". Registration and re- registration can be done only through SIS. Detailed information on the format of this examination will be posted on the bulletin board t the end of the summer term. |
