Teacher's information
The tuition is realised in the form of practical courses. The students' presence in these courses is strictly required, maximally two properly apologised absences are tolerated. The tuition is finished by a course-unit credit given on the basis of the students' presence, preparation for classes, sitting for Progress Tests and their successful passing of a Final test. The basic limit for passing all tests is 70%. Passing the examination is conditioned by proper attendance, active participation in practical courses, sitting for Progress Tests and successful passing of written and oral exams. The basic limit for passing all tests is 70%. There will be five progress tests (3 written, 2 oral), each for 50 points (altogether 250 points). In case of passing five Progress tests (passmark for each test is 35/50 points) the basic limit in the credit test is reduced by 10%. If students a) succesfully pass all progress tests (must be taken only during the test week), b) get at least 225 points in total (both conditions must be met), they do not have to take the Final test. Without successful passing the written exam students will not be allowed to sit for the oral part. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "F" in the Information System. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "NNN" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination. Information about the subject, consultation hours, etc. is accessible on the notice boards at the Language Center, Faculty of Medicine Division.
