Conditions for acceptance of the semester
1. Accepted preparations made on practices.
2. Accepted work reports.
3. Accepted practical and theoretical assessments.
4. At the beginning of all practice classes students write short tests of different types (dose checking, synonim names and latin expressions, calculations). Semester only can be accepted if students reach at least 50% from each short test type.
Evaluation of the practices is according to the semester work (practice work, assessments, work reports) by practice grade.
5. During the 2nd part of the semester students have to make 2 preparations for grade on each practice. After taking into account average of all grades students have to reach grade 2,50 for the acceptance of the semester.
Mid-term exams
Conditions for the acceptance of the semester are as follows:
Students are required to complete 2 written assessments during the semester on predetermined dates. The cumulative result of these assessments must be at least 60.1%. The institute provides an opportunity to make up any missed assessments; failure to take advantage of this opportunity results in a grade of 0% for that assessment. If the combined result of the two written assessments is below 60.1%, two opportunities for improvement are provided, in accordance with the Code of Studies and Examinations. The first retake assessment must achieve a minimum grade of 60.1%. If the first retake assessment is unsuccessful/insufficient, the second retake assessment must also achieve at least 60.1% for semester acceptance and eligibility for examination (provided that absences have not exceeded the specified limit).
Making up for missed classes
Students must fulfil requirements determined by the Code of Studies and Examinations.
All missed or failed preparations manufactured on the practice should be made up on supplementary practices!
Exam topics/questions
After the semester the exam is a complex exam from all Pharmaceutical Technology 1-2-3-4 courses evaluated by a five-grade system. Knowledge acquired is tested based on subject matter defined by a list of topics provided by the institute.The end-semester exam will be evaluated by a five-grade system.
Knowledge acquired is tested based on subject matter defined by a list of topics provided by the institute.
At the end of semester, students take oral exam. Chance "B"and "C"are also oral exams, which is preceded by the "Minimum Test" (MT). To write the MT, students have at most 30 minutes, and will be evaluated percent rating. Those students, who achieve less than 60% in MT, unsatisfactory grade will be assessed and cannot pass them to the oral part of the exam.
Oral part includes two topics. In the case of any part done with insufficient knowledge, will result in assessment of the exam to unsatisfactory grade.
In addition to the exam topics, part of the exam is answering questions that aim at assessing the general knowledge of the student.
