Assessment
Unaided Work:
Work with study materials, educational literature and using the Anatomage virtual 3D dissecting table and other current medical study technologies. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal.
Assessment Criteria:
To successfully acquire the study course material and prepare for the final examination of the study course, the student performs the following activities: 1. Attendance in the lectures and active participation in practical classes, passing tests and colloquiums provided for in them (45%). 2. The regular and constant acquisition of the mentioned theoretical literature (5%). 3. Written exam (50%). The student attend in the lectures and actively participates in all practical classes, productively participates in discussions of the situation analysis on a specific issue, problem, can substantiate and defend his / her opinion, uses appropriate terminology and refers to the read literature sources, pass the planned tests and colloquiums successfully and on time, independently reads the indicated literature sources. Test at the end of the 1st semester and written exam at the end of the 2nd semester. Exam grade is applied only for students who have passed all the requirements and tests of the course. Exam grade is cumulative.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Exam (Oral)
Final Examination (Part-Time):Exam (Oral)
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:As a result of completing the study course, the student will know how to describe the organ systems of the human body, will be able to describe their structure, location, functions, differences and similarities; will be able to name a part of anatomy terms in Latvian and Latin.
Skills:The student will recognise and be able to indicate skeletal bones, joints, muscles, organs and other anatomical structures in natural preparations, models and other visual aids; will be able to work with the specific literature intended for nutritionists.
Competencies:The student will be able to use the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge, using it in the interdisciplinary study courses, skilfully explaining and demonstrating various anatomical structures in natural preparations, models and other visual aids, including using the Anatomage virtual 3D dissecting table and other current medical study technologies.
