Assignment conditions

The following is required to pass: attendance at lectures, seminars and exercises (clinical classes), pass the practical part of the physical examination of the child (in on the last day of classes at the Department of Paediatrics) and passing the final test (test on the subject of lectures and seminars). Any absence should be excused. In the case of (excused) absence from 1-2 classes, the student may do the classes with another group. In case absences for> 2 clinical classes, the student is obliged to make up the whole block with another group. If it is not possible or not to make up for classes with another group, the student is required to pass the material discussed during these classes. Two late arrivals are counted as one absence. The final test includes 60 questions (30 from the topics covered in the lectures and 30 from the topics of the seminars). There is a limit of 60% to pass the test correct answers. The student receives a separate grade for lectures and seminars (for each part there is a threshold of 60%). The final grade is the arithmetic mean grades from all forms of classes. In the event of failure to pass the final test, the student is obliged to retake the test or oral test after agreement with the course coordinator. Failure to pass one of the forms of classes results in failure to complete the entire course (negative final grade)

Rating the final subject is the exam grade.

94-100% = 5,0

85-93% = 4,5

76-84% = 4,0

68-75% = 3,5

60-67% = 3,0

0-59% = 2,0

 

The results of the arithmetic mean are determined according to the principle: mean 3.25 is the final mark of 3.5; mean 3.75 is the final score of 4.0; mean 4.25 is the final score of 4.5; the mean of 4.75 is the final score of 5.0.
