    Obligatory textbook:

    Criteria for assessing the achieved learning outcomes and the form and conditions for receiving credit:

    Student obtains a credit on condition that he/she was present on all lectures and classes and obtained a pass from the classes.

     

    Students are obliged to attend all classes. Absences should be excused as soon as possible. In case of illness, a doctor’s leave should be presented; any other absences should be confirmed by the dean or proper authorities. Excused absences should be make up in a fixed time. The consequence of unexcused absences (more than one) is lack for credit at Regenerative medicine.

     

    The conditions of passing the class:

    a) performing experiments with showing an understanding of a sense of carried procedures;

    b) presentation of the experiment during the last classes

    b) credit from a written partial class test.

     

    During the last class every student is obliged to present an evaluation of their experiment, which was carried out on the laboratory classes. Every student may obtain maximum 10 points – 2 points for each of the following: introduction, material and methods, results, conclusion and student’s contribution to the presentation. The minimum 6 points are required to pass the presentation. Passing the presentation is mandatory in order to pass the course of Regenerative Medicine
