Course completion requirements

Conditions for awarding the credit in Histology and Embryology

1. Compulsory presence at practical trainings. Students attend practical trainings according to the time schedule. There is an exceptional possibility to attend a practical training of the same topic with another group, if the classroom capacity is sufficient. One absence per semester is tolerated without any compensation; casual second and further absences can be compensated by an oral examination in missed topics. The date of this examination can be arranged with a teacher individually anytime during the semester. The student, who doesn’t ask for this examination or fails, will have one more chance at the date given during the examination period. Concerning absences, please give your attention to the dean’s provision No. 1/2011 as well.

2. Sitting for the computer credit test at the end of each semester with the result of at least 70 % of correct answers. The student, who fails the test or doesn’t sit for it at the regular date, will have possibility to sit for it at the date given during the examination period.

In the case a student has not fulfilled all the conditions for granting credit even in exceptional dates, will have to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter at commissional oral examination at the date given by the head of the department. After the failure of this examination, there is no possibility to obtain the credit. More on http://histologie.lf2.cuni.cz/en/teaching/histology/credits

Requirements to the exam

The final examination in Histology an Embryology consists of an electronic written test followed with an oral test.

The written test consists of questions in cytology, general histology, microscopic anatomy, histologic methods, general embryology, organogenesis, and developmental biology. Total number of questions is 60. In 59 questions, a candidate chooses one or more correct answer and the correct combination is evaluated by 1 point. One “complex” question consists of 10 sub-questions and is evaluated up to 10 points. Total time for the written test is 70 minutes.

Written test evaluation:

excellent 90 to 100% of correct answers

very good 80 to 89% of correct answers

good 70 to 79% of correct answers

failed less than 70% of correct answers

If a candidate fails by the written test, he/she does not continue with the oral one. On the other hand, having passed the written test and having failed by the oral test a candidate does not repeat the written test.

The oral test consists of two questions. The first question is based on identification and description of a microscopic slide, the second question is based on description of one electron micrograph or embryological schema. All electron micrographs and embryological schemas are available on Moodle in time. The level of knowledge and ability to discuss is evaluated for each question in scale excellent – very good – good – failed. If any question is evaluated “failed”, the examination is finished by the result “failed”. If unsuccessful, the whole oral test is repeated (both questions).

Total evaluation of the examination is calculated as an average of three marks.

By the final examination, a candidate is not allowed to use any his/her own aid.

The final exam is evaluated "failed" if a candidate leaves the examination room during the test.

Validation of exams is regulated by the Dean's provision N°. 7/2014.
