RULES AND REGULATIONS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY (American & Taiwan  BIS Program)

1. Presence at classes, seminars and lectures is obligatory, according to the regulations of studies.
2. Participation in the classes is carried out in accordance with the principles of observing the epidemiological regime.
3. Students are obliged to prepare themselves earlier for each practical classes according to the topics. Students are obliged to have a white coat and cover shoes.
Seminars and classes:
Completion of the course takes place after the end of the classes cycle resulting from the curriculum. Completion of the course Histology with embryology and cytophysiology is based on: a) pass all classes and achieve the minimum point value (according to the point system for teaching the subject)
b) pass all partials and achieve a minimum point (according to the point teaching system)
c) passing practical tests
d) attendance at classes
e) positive assessment of the student's attitude made by the teachers during both semesters.
3. Unexcused absences:
A student can  not have any unexcused absence during two semesters.
4. Excused absences:
A student may have a maximum of three (3) excused absences during the entire course (semester I and II in total).
In random cases resulting in a greater number of excused absences, the Head of the Department decides about continuing education.
Absences are excused as follows:
a) a medical certificate
b) certificate of the Dean or Vice-Rector for Education (this absence is not included in the limit of justified absences)
The justification on the basis of a medical certificate is presented by the student within 7 days of the absence. They will not be honored later.
In the event of an excused absence, the student has the right to pass a practice test for the following classes or on a date agreed with the person conducting the classes.
5. Failure to pass the course of histology with embryology and cytophysiology concerns students who:
a) exceeded the number of absences specified
b) have not completed overdue classes or credits by the end of the rest session in the winter semester (semester I) or by the end of the summer session (semester II)
c) show no progress in science
d) obtained a negative assessment of the attitude made in the evaluation questionnaire during both semesters.
6. Passing overdue practice or final tests:
The student has the opportunity to improve the failed classes during histology classes, but not later than in the last class in this module.
Completion of outstanding practice or final tests after the end of the semester:
The student has the right to credit the arrears until the end of the retake session in semester I (winter) and by the end of the summer session in semester II (summer). In the case of crediting after the end of the second (summer) semester at the end of the teaching cycle, the student receives a fail grade on the date of the exam in the summer session and has the right to take the exam on the first retake date.
7. Completion of the course in the event of failure to achieve the point minimum:
Students who, after taking all the practice and final tests in a given semester, have not achieved the point minimum, have the option of completing the curriculum content by proceeding to complete the entire semester in the form of a test or oral answer.
8. The student's attitude is assessed by the person conducting the exercises in each semester. Activity during exercises, cooperation with the person conducting the exercises and other students, as well as personal culture are assessed. An academic teacher may award 2 additional points for an activity during exercises for a given activity. In case of grossly negative behavior, the student may be assessed negatively.
15. Examination in the subject of Histology and Embryology and Cytophysiology:
The condition for taking the final exam is to pass both semesters in accordance with the Histology Scoring System. Semester I (winter) ends with a credit with a grade, which depends on the number of collected points. Semester II (summer) ends with a credit without a grade.
The exam consists of two parts: a practical exam and a theory exam in the form of a multiple-choice test. The condition for taking the theoretical exam is obtaining a positive grade in the practical exam. Obtaining a negative grade in the practical exam results in entering a unsatisfactory grade on the 1st exam date and the necessity to pass the entire exam on the 1st retake date in the retake session. The condition for passing the theoretical exam is obtaining 60% correct answers. The condition for passing the practical exam is to present 6 correct diagnoses from a set of 9 histological preparations and 1 electronogram.
A scoring system is used to continuously and objectively evaluate advances in the science of histology, embryology, and cytophysiology.
The following elements of the didactic process are scored: classes, theoretical tests, practical tests.
1. Classes - quiz in the form of (9 questions – multiple choice questions).
For the correct answer - the student may receive 1 point.
In total, for the test, the student can get from 0 - 9 points.
During the year, all classes in a given module will be assessed, except for exercise no.1 in the Basic of Medicine A module (first class in the 1st semester).
2. Partial test contains 30 questions (multiple choice), concerning the content of the implemented program. Each module ends with partial test.
For each correct answer - 1 point.
In total, you can get 0-30 points for the test.
3. Practical test - recognition and orientation in histological preparations and basic methods of histological research.
Each correctly identified preparation - 2 points
The prerequisite for the practical pass is the recognition of 3 out of 5 histological preparations and obtaining a minimum of 6 points.
The maximum number of points that can be obtained for a practical pass. 10 points
Modules in the winter and summer semesters end with a practical module test.
4. Seminars:
The prerequisite for passing the seminars in each module is the presence in the classroom and preparation of an essay for each module on the topic designated by the assistant.
6. After correcting the overdue exercise, the student will receive the minimum number of points needed to complete the course in the module.
7. To pass the semester student has to gain more than 60% of total points from the semester.
The student has the option of completing the material from the tutorials at the tutoring assistant in the case of absence justified by a sick leave in the week following the absence or on a date agreed with the tutor. Passing partial tests in the case of receiving too few points or absences take place on the date agreed with the person conducting the exercises.

Semester I ends with a credit with a grade, which depends on the number of points:
190 - 201 - 5.0
169 - 189 - 4.5
158 - 168 - 4.0
151 - 157 - 3.5
120 - 150 - 3.0
<120 - 2.0
Examination of the subject HISTOLOGY WITH EMBRIOLOGY AND CYTOPHYSIOLOGY:
The subject is taught by a final examination.
The condition for taking the final exam is passing all modules of both semesters in accordance with the Histology Scoring System.
The exam consists of two parts: a practical exam and a theory exam in the form of a multiple-choice test. The condition for taking the theoretical exam is obtaining a positive grade in the practical exam. Obtaining a negative grade in the practical exam results in entering a unsatisfactory grade on the 1st exam date and the necessity to pass the entire exam on the 1st retake date in the retake session. The condition for passing the theoretical exam is obtaining 60% correct answers. The condition for passing the practical exam is to present 6 correct diagnoses from a set of 9 scanned histological preparations and 1 electronogram.
Criteria of Final exam:
Percentage of points obtained from the test
0-60  %       2
61-68 %       3
69-76 %       3,5
77-84%        4
85-91%       4,5

Percentage of points obtained from the test 
Score:
0-60%        2
61-75%      3
76-86%      3,5
87-90%      4
91-95%      4,5
96-100%     5
The result of the exam is approved by the Head of the Department, and each additional student activity related to the learning outcomes achieved may affect the final grade.
Students with outstanding academic performance throughout the academic year, assessed at:
1) minimum 90% of the points from each exercise in the module
2) minimum 90% of points from each theoretical pass of the module
3) 10 points for each completion of the practical module
4) 10 points from the practical exam
They will have their final exam grade increased by 0.5, provided that they receive a minimum grade of 3.5 (fairly good).
