Regular class attendance, five small quizzes (max 50%), the designing of a research plan (max 20 %), and the final written exam (max 30 %).

• the final exam is of written form; the exam lasts for 30 minutes and entails a multiple-choice and short answers types of questions in accordance with the reference list available on the website;

• in accordance with the general rules of the Faculty of Medicine, a minimum of 50 % of correct answers is required to pass the exam;

• in order to be admitted to the final exam, the student has to gather at least 35 (50 %) of the total of 70 points before the final exam.

Missing up to 30 % of the classes (with a presumed justified reason), does not require justification and cannot be made up for (the exception being provided by a hospital discharge letter). Missing more than 30 % of classes, no matter the reason, will prevent the student from taking the final exam and result in a repeated enrolment in the course the following academic year.

It is not possible to “decline” a positive mark, but students can appeal to the Dean in written form within 24 hours
