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 successful completion of the course.
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 ) to be qualified for the final (written) exam, which will award them the second 1 ECTS credit.
The evaluation system of the seminars (aVLOZ0141c ) consists of 15 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 successful fulfilment of each assignment will award the student 1 point. The final group project can award the student up to 3 points, and the project will be presented in the last week of the course.
Students are entitled to sit for the final exam if they achieve 12 out of 15 points.
