Teaching methods
In the practicals, the topics discussed are practised as group and individual activities supplemented by the teacher's explanations and discussions. An essential part of the teaching is the students' home preparation for individual lessons and self-study. Students can check their readiness for the lesson by taking the ROPOT before each class.
Assessment methods
Participation in practical exercises is compulsory. The practical exercises consist of a total of three tests:

Prescription test (5th lesson)
- contains one IPP and one RMP
- for the IPP, the active substance and for the RMP, the pharmacotherapeutic group or indication
- for both products, the pharmaceutical form and the quantity of the product
- rating: pass/fail
- the time limit is 30 minutes
- can be repeated a maximum of twice

Multiple-choice tests (6th and 10th lesson)
- on knowledge of the topics covered
- the test consists of 15 questions with 3 to 5 multiple choice questions
- the number of correct answers is given in the question instructions
- marks are awarded for questions answered completely correctly (2 points)
- the limit for passing the test is 12 points
- only one of the tests can be repeated once

CREDITS
- 100% attendance at practice
- successful completion of the Prescription test
- successful completion of both Multiple-choice tests with a minimum total score of 28.

The results of the multiple choice tests count towards the final grade in Pharmacology II (ZLFA0721p)

The teaching of pharmacology to students of dental medicine is conducted on a two-semester basis.

In the spring semester, the course is completed with credit. See above for credit requirements.

Completion in the autumn semester = rigorous examination, which consists of a pre-test and an oral part.

The oral exam consists of three randomly selected questions from the headings:
