Teacher's information
The tuition is realised in the form of practical courses. The students' presence in these courses is strictly required, maximally two properly apologised absences (i.e. via the Study Department of the Faculty of Medicine) are tolerated. The tuition is finished by an end-of-term examination (ETE) consisting of a WRITTEN and an ORAL part. Passing the examination is conditioned by proper attendance, active participation in practical courses, sitting for Progress Tests and successful passing of written and oral exams. The basic limit for passing all tests is 70%. There will be four progress tests (2 written, 2 oral), each for 50 points (altogether 200 points). In case of passing five Progress tests (passmark for each test is 35/50 points) the basic limit in the credit test is reduced by 10%. If students a) succesfully pass all progress tests (must be taken only during the test week), b) get at least 180 points in total (both conditions must be met), they do not have to take the Final test. Without successful passing the written exam students will not be allowed to sit for the oral part. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "F" in the Information System. Information about the subject, consultation hours, etc. is accessible on the notice boards at the Language Center, Faculty of Medicine Division. Contact with teachers is provided by the secretary of the department (Kamenice 5, A15), tel.: 549 498 170.
