Assessment
Unaided Work:
Examining self-control issues (in e-studies), working with teaching aids and preparations outside of scheduled classes, reviewing additional literature and creating simple schemes is desirable for successful course completion. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal.
Assessment Criteria:
To successfully acquire the study course material and prepare for the final examination of the study course, the student performs the following activities: 1. Active participation in practical classes, passing tests and colloquiums provided for in them (40%). 2. The regular and constant acquisition of the mentioned theoretical literature (10%). 3. Written exam (50%). The student actively participates in all practical classes, productively participates in discussions of the situation analysis on a specific issue, problem, can substantiate and defend his / her opinion, uses appropriate terminology and refers to the read literature sources, pass the planned tests and colloquiums successfully and on time, independently reads the indicated literature sources. Theoretical test at the end of the 1st semester and written exam at the end of the 2nd semester. Exam grade is applied only for students who have passed all the requirements and tests of the course. Exam grade is cumulative.
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam (Written)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		Students will be able to enumerate human body organ systems, to describe the constitution, topography and functions of the organ systems; they will be able to tell about the main traits and regularities of the blood supply, venous drainage and innervation; the students will identify the main regularities of the functions of the organ systems and will be able to name anatomical terms in Latin.
Skills:		The students will be able to recognise and to show the organs and other anatomical structures on study aids and natural preparations; to analyse, assess and compare the obtained information, to explain simple clinical tasks and to work with professional literature.
Competencies:		Students will know, identify and describe different anatomical structures of the human body, organs of the head, neck and thoracic regions; will demonstrate an understanding of the anatomical terminology, functions of the systems of the human body and organs of the head, neck and thoracic regions. The obtained information will allow students to analyze and evaluate simple clinical situations. Students will be able to work with special literature for an in-depth study of the specialty.
