| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | 1) MCQ self-control tests must be completed before every class in E-studies. 2) Student writes a clinical case history (if available due to restrictions in hospitals). 3) General surgery: after the general surgery cycle student completes a clinical case report task in E-studies. 4) Vascular surgery: during the third class of vascular surgery student presents an independently completed task, described, and given by the teacher during the classes. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Control of the theoretical knowledge of the material learned is carried out throughout the practical classes as well as discussion of clinical cases by which the students’ knowledge of aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics, treatment principles and prevention of surgical diseases is assessed. Final evaluation (grade) in this study course is calculated from two marks of equal importance: 1) Assessment of student’s activity during the course – 50%. This mark includes evaluation of the clinical case report (20%), result of the general surgery case report task completed after the cycle (20%) and evaluation of student’s activity during the vascular surgery classes (10%). 2) Exam mark – 50%. Exam is computer-based test which consists of two parts and is organized for all student groups at once. 1st part: MCQ test with 100 questions (25% of the final grade), 2nd part: 2 clinical case report tasks (25% of the final grade). (Exam can be subject to a change, in which case detailed information will be available in E-studies) | ||||||||
