Oral presentation of the teacher contains pictures and schemes to demonstrate the pharmacological principles and help the understanging of the related topic.
Assessment methods
During the studying the students have to prove active knowledge of pharmacology acquired. Students have to pass the exam: final written multiple-choice test (30 questions). In the Final Exam students are asked to answer to multiple-choice questions. Only 1 correct answer is possible to each question. Two points is granted for each correctly answered question. The final evaluation respects the results of test from practicals. The points scored above minimal required value are added to the final score of the exam as follows: Final score = score from exam test + X; X = summary score from tests from practicals - 10 (minimal required value).

The summary of the score obtained is evaluated as follows:

mark A = 68-80 points

B = 62-67 points

C = 56-61 points

D = 51-55 points

E = 48-50 points

F = less than 48 points
