Assessment
Unaided Work:
Preliminary preparation for the topic of the respective lesson, using the recommended literature and Internet sources, followed by evaluation and practical application in practical lessons. Independent acquisition of practical skills under the guidance of a lecturer.
Assessment Criteria:
• Compulsory attendance of lectures, seminars, practical classes. • In the study process, students' knowledge is assessed with a grade in the 10-point system, considering a grade not lower than 4 points to be positive, or a two-part grade “passed” - “failed”. In classes, students take tests and solve situation tasks. o At the end of the 1st and 2nd study year, semester tests. o 5th semester of the 3rd study year - practical exam OSKE. • Independent work: In addition, studies literature on relevant topics, which are covered in lectures and classes.
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam (OSCE)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
