Assessment methods (in Czech)
Povinná účast na seminářích vyplývá ze studijního řádu. Tolerují se nanejvýš dvě absence, nejlépe je neúčast nahradit v nejbližším vhodném termínu.
Výuka je ukončena zkouškou (zk), která probíhá převážně ústní formou, avšak zahrnuje i kratší písemnou část v podobě překladu klinických a recepturních termínů z češtiny do latiny. Obsah ústní odpovědi: mluvnický rozbor vybraných latinských anatomických a klinických termínů, určování a obměňování základních gramatických kategorií, výklad odborně relevantního gramatického jevu a úkoly prověřující znalosti z tvoření slov. Doplňkovou součást zkoušky mohou tvořit otázky z teorie terminologie (historické aspekty, současný stav vývoje, charakteristické znaky apod.). Předpokladem připuštění ke zkoušce je úspěšné absolvování klauzurního testu.
The obligatory attendance in seminars follows from the Rule of Studies. Two absences at the most are tolerated; any other absence should be compensated by attending at a next suitable lesson.
The tuition is closed by an examination (zk), which mainly proceeds in the oral form but also includes a shorter written part in the form of a translation of clinical and prescription terms from Czech into Latin. The oral part contains grammatical analysis of selected Latin anatomical and clinical terms, determination and variation of basic grammatical categories, explanation of a technically relevant grammatical phenomenon, and tasks which check knowledge of word formation. The exam may be supplemented with questions from the theory of terminology (historical aspects, contemporary state of development, characteristic features, etc.). A prerequisite for admission to the examination is successful copmletion of a final written test focused especially on word-forming problems.
