MEDICAL CHEMISTRY      ZLLC011s    1^st Semester                             Academic Year 2008 /
2009

SEMINARY CLASSES

Students are expected to come to the seminary room at least 5 minutes before the start of the
lesson.

Attendance in seminars is obligatory. All absences must be justified through the Department of
study affairs. Illness or other serious reason are usually the only acceptable excuse for absence
from class and must be officially confirmed. After being absent the student must make up for the
study materials from the given seminar according to the teachers instructions. Absences that are
not officially apologized will be not allowed to make up!!!

Recommende textbooks: Medical Chemistry – Seminar (J.Dostal, Brno 2007)

Táborská, Sláma: Medical Chemistry I (General and Inorganic Chemistry) Brno 2006

Dostál: Medical Chemistry II (Organic Chemistry) Brno 2006





Compensatory dates for neglected lessons (justified properly) will be given only by agreement with
                                      the respective teacher.

             The 31^st of January 2009 is the deadline for making up all the lessons!



Conditions for giving the course-unit credit

First condition is full attendance in all lessons (or making up all missing and justified lessons).

Five short tests are written during the semester. The total number of questions in all tests is 64,
each correct answer is counted as one point. Students that will obtain 49 points or more during the
semester are not obliged to write the credit test.

The other students will write the credit test with the 30 questions in the last week of the
semester. The limit for passing the credit test is 12 points. Students that will not fulfill this
limit will be allowed to repeat the test once. Remedial dates for writing the credit test will be
scheduled till 31.1.2009. Students that will not fulfill this requirement will not be given the
course-unit credit.


Obtaining of course-unit credits of practices and seminars is the pre-requisite for registration to
the examination of Medical chemistry and for enrollment of Biochemistry in the Spring semester.
