| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | The theoretical test must be written, it includes theoretical closed-ended test questions with four answer options, where only one is correct. Two test variants have been created and within 3 academic hours the student completes the test, marking the chosen answer variant. The test includes questions from general education study courses, branch theoretical basic courses and branch professional specialization courses. In the practical part, the student presents a clinical case to the commission, presents knowledge in nutrition therapy and rehabilitation. Preparation time and completion of the protocol does not exceed 30 minutes. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | The examination in both parts, as well as the resulting assessment takes place according to the generally accepted 10 point system ((by analogy with Chapter I 4 of the Study Regulations). The resulting grade mark is calculated according to a specific formula (see below). For the resulting assessment to be successful in this comprehensive test, both sections must be successfully passed. The resulting VP rating (Rv) is calculated as follows: The percentage of each part of the VP is multiplied by the rating obtained in this part (a, b) and the result obtained sum of numbers divided by 100: Rv = (a x 70) + (b x 30) / 100 Where a and b are the evaluation of the practical and theoretical part, 70 and 30 are the percentages of each part. If the resulting score is a number with decimals, it is rounded to the nearest whole number. | ||||||||
