Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Grade 29-30 with honors: The student has a thorough understanding of the required topics, is able to promptly and correctly integrate and critically analyze the presented situations, and independently solve even highly complex problems. He or she has excellent communication skills and masters medical and scientific language. He or she has a high attendance and participation rate in the practical portion of the course.
Grade 26-28: The student has a good understanding of the required topics, is able to integrate and analyze the presented situations in a critical and linear manner, is able to solve complex problems fairly independently, and presents the topics clearly using appropriate technical language. The student has a medium-high attendance and participation rate in the practical portion.
Grade 22-25: The student has a fair understanding of the required topics, although limited to the main topics. He or she is able to integrate and analyze the presented situations in a critical, but not always linear, manner, and presents the arguments fairly clearly with reasonable command of the language. He or she attended the practical portion of the course at 50% and exceeded the minimum required attendance.
Grade 18-21: The student has minimal knowledge of the required topics, has a modest ability to integrate and critically analyze the presented situations, and presents the arguments sufficiently clearly, although their command of language is poorly developed. Their participation in the practical portion and attendance at lectures are barely adequate.
Exam failed: The student does not possess the minimum required knowledge of the main course content. Their ability to use specific language is very limited or nonexistent, and they are unable to independently apply the acquired knowledge.
