Credit

1. As for attendance, you can miss one practical class. If so, an official document must confirm the reason for the absence.

2. The student has to pass all the micro-tests successfully.

3. Student has to pass the Credit test successfully

Students have three chances to pass the credit test. The 1st date (during the 8th practical class) is obligatory for all students. If a student does not come, they lose the 1st chance. During the summer examination period, several dates for the 2nd attempt will be posted in the SIS, from which a student can choose. For those who do not pass or do not come for the 2nd attempt by the end of June, the 3rd attempt will be organized in September. Each student has to sign up for any test in the SIS.

4. Task completion on Moodle

Final Exam

The final examination consists of medical phrase translation, etymological explanation of medical terminology, memorabilia, remedia, and abbreviations used in medical terminology. The final test includes all the materials provided in the winter and summer semesters.

During seminars, students can not use electronic devices (mobile phones, notebooks, clever watches, ear help, and others). Students who break this rule in any test will be evaluated as failed. Students also fail the test if they cheat, and we will pass any fraud to the ethics commission of the faculty.
