| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Student independently learns ENT organ examination. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 1)Assessment of theoretical knowledge held on E-studies within one week prior to the corresponding practical class in a format of MCQ test (Multiple Choice Questions) or essay type questions about individually read material and literature about the topic. 2)During each practical class, each student is evaluated individually with a mark in a 10-grade system according to student’s involvement and activity during the class and the knowledge that he/she demonstrate. Criteria: • Student arrived on time for the class, • Student is in appropriate attire (white coat, change of shoes), • Student actively participates in the discussion, patient examination and/or analysis of clinical case, correctly answers teacher’s questions and is able to defend ones opinion. 3)Final examination - exam is held at the end of the 8th semester during examination period. During the Exam students’ theoretical knowledge about aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, treatment principles and prophylaxis of ENT organ diseases is evaluated by a written and oral examination. Exam is evaluated with a mark using 10-grade system. Final grade: At the end of the course, each student receives a mark in a 10-grade scale. This mark consists of the individual evaluations during practical classes and exam grade (accordingly 50% and 50%). | ||||||||
