EXAM:
1) The condition for admitting a student to the exam is first passing obligatory classes and obtaining a credit for the subject (achievement of the appropriate learning outcomes assigned to the subject)
2) The material required for the exam is consistent with the learning outcomes contained in the SYLLABUS and includes the content presented during lectures, seminars and tutorials and contained in the recommended literature for the Subject "Pathomorphology" both in the 1st and 2nd semester of the 3rd year.
3) The date of the exam is agreed with the year representative and announced for the whole year. The exam date is set during the exam session.
4) The exam consists of two parts - a theoretical and practical test. The theoretical part covers the content of all lectures, seminars and tutorials (semester 1 and 2). The multiple-choice test consists of 70 questions with five answers, only one of which is correct. For the theoretical part you can get 70 points, and the condition for passing it is to give min. 60% of correct answers. This part lasts 70 minutes.
The practical part of the exam lasts 20 minutes. and consists of displaying 10 microscope images with 10 MCQ questions - 3 points for each image. You can get 30 points for the practical part. and the condition for passing it is to give min. 60% of correct answers.
To pass the exam, you must obtain 60% in each part separately (practical and theoretical).
The grade for the exam is issued according to the number of points obtained in accordance with the table below:
Percentage points Rating
92≤…<100 very good (5)
88≤…<92 Fairly good (4,5)
80≤…<88 Good (4)
71≤…<80 Satisfactory plus (3,5)
60≤….<71 Satisfactory (3)
0…<60 Unsatisfactory (2)
5) There is a possibility of taking the "0" term exam after obtaining 90% of the scores in the "Pathomorphology" courses carried out in the 1st and 2nd semester. The test conditions is set directly with students who meet the requirements.
