Teaching methods

Content of this course includes study of slides and electron micrographs in microscopic hall as well as class discussion on the base of materials in the text book. Electronic textbooks are presented also in: http://www.med.muni.cz/histol/atlas.htm

Assessment methods

Testing of knowledge: Student must prove sufficient level of knowledge by written test examination. Each student completes 4 partial tests during semester. Tests are evaluated by point for correct answer. More than half number of correct answers (points) is evaluated as "Passed". All of these tests must be successful. In case of failure, only 1 resit is possible. There is condition 4 from 4 (ie. 4 P / 4 regular tests) or 4 from 5 (ie. 3 P / 4 regular tests + 1 P / 1 resit). If student does not fulfill this condition, credit test follows in the relevant exam period. This test covers all topics studied during semester. In case of failure in credit test, credit will not be given and student must enroll the course again.
Conditions for obtaining credit: 1. Attendance at all practical exercises (100% participation, all absences must be regularly excused (in IS) and substituted).
2. Successful completion of all tests.
3. Submission of all protocols (correctly completed forms of protocols signed by teacher).
