Principals of attendance

Regular class attendance is a student obligation. Four excused absences are allowed, however, student is obliged to make up missed classes. Teachers will provide reasonable alternatives that permit course objectives and learning outcomes to be met (alternative assessment, an additional paper or project of equivalent intellectual effort, or other option).

Student is obliged to be well prepared and actively participate in the discussion and practical activities  during classes. Students who are not prepared for the classes will not be allowed to take the review test from that particular subject.

Exams and grades

 To complete the course (to get a credit) students have:

a.      to receive pass grade for a test which checks knowledge level regarding lectures delivered during the first month of the course

b.     present prepared case-report based on knowledge of post-exposure prophylaxis regarding selected infectious disease

c.       to receive pass grade for a test which checks knowledge level regarding clinic-based classes

 Lectures Test: in writing (single-choice test, 60 closed questions).

Note: The regulations on the conditions of credit correspond to the conditions of direct credit. Due to the current epidemiological situation regarding the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, it is reserved to introduce changes in the event of the need to switch to remote credit during the statutory time.

The lectures will not cover all the required material, students who depend on course notes alone will be handicapped. Studying and reading material from textbooks and monographs is essential to success.

Obtaining 60% of the points possible to obtain is a condition for passing the lectures. To pass the review test student must score more than 59% positive answers. When scores:

- 0% - 59% gets unsatisfactory (2.0) and fails the lectures test

- 60% - 67% gets satisfactory ( 3.0 )

- 68 % - 75% gets fairly good ( 3.5)

- 76 % - 84% gets good ( 4.0 )

- 85 % - 93% gets better than good ( 4.5 )

- 94% - 100% gets very good ( 5.0 )

Passing the clinic-based classes:

In cases of absence, the student should fill in the gaps in the form and date agreed with the lecturer, no later than one week before the end of the semester.

Clinic-based classes Test: in writing (single-choice test, 60 closed questions).

- 85 % - 93% gets better than good ( 4.5 )

- 94% - 100% gets very good ( 5.0 )

 The final grade is the arithmetic mean of the lectures and clinic-based classes tests. The results of the arithmetic mean are determined according to the principle: the mean of 3.0-3.24 is the final grade of 3.0; an average of 3.25-3.74 is a final grade of 3.5; an average of 3.75-4.24 is a final grade of 4.0; an average of 4.25-4.74 is a final grade of 4.5; an average of 4.75-5.0 is a final score of 5.0.

A retake exam (second term of an exam) may be in the written or oral form (test or open task or oral exam).

Students will be allowed to make up missed first term of the final exam if, and only if, they are excused in advance by the course coordinator. Special consideration will be given in the case of unanticipated and excused emergencies such as accident, sudden serious illness, etc.

For students who passed second term of final exam (a make-up exam) final exam grade is calculated as an arithmetic mean of two grades.
