RADIATION SAFETY AND RADIOGRAPHY (1,5 ECTS)

Assessment methods and criteria

SURGERY AND ANESTHESIOLOGY (Grade 0-5)
The assessment method is a written exam where the student answers the question as either an essay, a brief explanation, a list or by choosing the correct / correct options in the question.
Both parts (Surgery and Anesthesiology) should be performed with approval.
The basic prerequisite for the performance is that the student does not cause harm, danger, injury or death to anyone by the action, other response or ignorance he describes, or use incorrect terminology that could lead to the above situations. Failure to answer the exam question indicates lack of knowledge and leads to rejection of the performance. The student must achieve 50% of the total score of the exam.
The score of the approved performance is 50% of the maximum score of the written exam; All questions must receive at least 50% of the maximum score for the question. See also the previous point.
Passing the exam requires 50% of the maximum points in both surgery and anesthesia. All questions must be answered with a maximum of 50% of the maximum score.
The score of the approved performance is 50% of the maximum score of the written exam; 90-100% of the maximum score. All questions must receive at least 50% of the maximum score for the question. See also the previous point.
Passing the exam requires an approved course in both parts. All questions must be answered with a maximum of 50% of the maximum score.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

SURGERY AND ANESTHESIOLOGY
If a method or treatment described in the answer would in a practical situation cause harm, danger, injury or patient's death the exam is rejected. If the student fails to answer a question and thus show lack of knowledge the subject the whole exam has to be re-taken.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

SURGERY AND ANESTHESIOLOGY
If a method or treatment described in the answer would in a practical situation cause harm, danger, injury or patient's death the exam is rejected. If the student fails to answer a question and thus show lack of knowledge the subject the whole exam has to be re-taken. The student does not reach 50% of the total score or in both of the parts (surgery or anesthesia) of the exam

Assessment methods and criteria

SURGERY AND ANESTHESIOLOGY (Grade 0-5)
The assessment method is a written exam where the student answers the question as either an essay, a brief explanation, a list or by choosing the correct / correct options in the question.
Both parts (Surgery and Anesthesiology) should be performed with approval.
The basic prerequisite for the performance is that the student does not cause harm, danger, injury or death to anyone by the action, other response or ignorance he describes, or use incorrect terminology that could lead to the above situations. Failure to answer the exam question indicates lack of knowledge and leads to rejection of the performance. The student must achieve 50% of the total score of the exam.
The score of the approved performance is 50% of the maximum score of the written exam; 90-100% of the maximum score. All questions must receive at least 50% of the maximum score for the question. See also the previous point.
Passing the exam requires an approved course in both parts. All questions must be answered with a maximum of 50% of the maximum score.
