Annotation -

The main goal of the subject is to recall and enrich the knowledge of the essentials of calculus as needed during pharmacy studies. The teaching is focused on the understanding of mathematical concepts with regard to their application, not on formalism and proofs of theorems.

Requirements to the exam -

Exam conditions – Mathematics – full-time study, 1st year

The written exam consists of questions from the material covered in all seminars. It contains 20 test questions, each worth one point, at least 12 points must be obtained to pass the exam and get the grade "good" (3). At least 15 points must be obtained for the grade "very good" (2). At least 18 points must be obtained for the grade "excellent" (1). The total time of the exam is 60 min.

In addition to written exams after the last seminars, there will be three 10-minute tests at the beginning of the 3rd, 5th and 7th seminars. Each such "mini-test" contains 2 questions. Each question is worth 2 points; one if the correct procedure is used, two if both procedure and result are correct. The points obtained in this way will be fully transferred to the exam. If the student has the maximum number of points for the 3 mini-tests, i.e. 12 points, then he is not required to attend the exam and will receive the grade "good" (3). He can, however, attend the exam in order to improve his grade.

The only allowed tools are: writing utilities, ruler, calculator (not on a mobile phone).
