Evaluation System
The subject of Public Health I is divided into two collateral courses; aVLOZ0141p (for theoretical lectures) and aVLOZ0141c (for practical seminars) that took place simultaneously during the 1st semester (1st year) of the General Medicine study program. The student is entitled to acquire 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits upon the successful completion of the course evaluation requirements.
The two courses of Public Health I are mutually dependent which means that the student has to acquire the 1 ECTS credit of the seminars (aVLOZ0141c ) in order to be qualified for the final (written) exam of the entire subject which will award them the second 1 ECTS credit.
The evaluation system of the seminars (aVLOZ0141c ) consists of 12 points that are claimable through attending (and active participation in) the seminars and successful fulfilment of the seminars assignments. Attendance (and active participation) of each seminar will award the student 1 point and the successful fulfilment of each assignment will award the student 1 point. The student is entitled to set for the final exam if they achieve 9 out of 12 points.
