Assessment criteria

Form and conditions of passing the subject:
The condition for passing the subject is obtaining a positive grade from the final test.

Form and conditions of final test:
1) the test is in written form (test) or oral, and the condition for passing it is at least 60% correct answers.
2) the retake test I is conducted by the assistant conducting the exercises, and the retake test II is conducted by the Head of the Department.
3) during the test, it is forbidden to use any teaching aids or electronic devices that allow communication with other people at a distance (e.g. a mobile phone). The Student's conduct justifying possession of the aids or devices referred to above, or the detection of such devices, will result in an automatic failing grade from the colloquium.
4) the occurrence of circumstances referred to in point 4 may result in referring the case to the Disciplinary Committee for Students.
5) The examination materials, i.e. the answer sheet and the test copy, are the property of the Department of Normal Anatomy and therefore students are not allowed to take them away.

Practical placement

The subject Selected issues in the anatomy of the nervous system does not include professional practice.
