IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THE ACQUISITION OF THE KNOWLEDGES PROVIDED BY THE FOLLOWING EXAMS: GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, CITOLOGY,  ISTOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY

D1-KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHESION  At the end of the course, students  must prove to have learned and understood program content.

D2 ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION  Students must be able to recognize and describe the various organs studied within the systems.

D3 CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS Students must have a sufficient command of what they have learned to correctly and critically establish the correlations between the structural and functional characteristics of organs.

D4 COMMUNICATION SKILLS   Students must show competence when relating their knowledge and must use appropriate terminology. Students must be able to communicate what they have learned clearly and comprehensibly even to those who have no knowledge of the topic.

D5- LEARNING SKILLS  Students must be able to examine and comprehend scientific texts so as to become actively involved in developing their knowledge of the topic of study.

Assessment

Oral examination. To verify  the level of knowledges, it will be asked at least 3 questions regarding the topics of the course. The evaluation will be performed not only on the basis of the knowledges, but also on the basis of the appropriate terminology and the critical approach to present the topics. Each of the evaluation criteria is judged on 4 level scale. Particular attention will be paid to the first two criteria.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
