                                                                         Dear Students

     

    Histology and Embryology classes start on 05.10.2026.

    The first classes will be organizational, but please prepare Histological Techniques and Cell Structure. There will be a short test on these topics consisting of 10 questions.

    After that, at each class, there will be a short test after the assistant's lecture. It will contain 3 basic questions about the current topic.

    If you do not pass the test, you will receive -1 point, which will be deducted from your Partial Test score.

    Histological Techniques

    On Blackboard, find the PDF presentation “Presentation English Division – Techniques.”

    Please read the presentation carefully. This material will be included in the first partial test and the exam.

    Cell Structure

    On Blackboard, find lecture from cell. 

    You have already seen and discussed different types of cells, including their size, structure, and characteristics.

    For these classes, you should learn the basic structure of the cell.

    Practical classes

    Classes will take place in classrooms at J. Washington 13, on the ground floor, in rooms 1.31 and 1.54.

    Please bring:

    • a notebook with blank pages (not a tear-off pad),

    • crayons.

    Changing shoes is mandatory. Please leave your outdoor clothes and shoes in the cloakroom.

    Lectures

    Lectures will be available on Blackboard according to the schedule.

    The lectures will be uploaded one week in advance, so students from Monday groups can also review the material before their classes.

    Practical class rules

    You should be theoretically prepared for every class.

    At the beginning of the class, the assistant will discuss the slides. Then you will examine the slides yourself and draw them in your notebook, marking and labeling the characteristic features of the cell or tissue.

    At the end of the class, the assistant will check and sign your work in the notebook. The signature means that you have received credit for the class.

    If your drawings or descriptions are incorrect, or you cannot answer the basic questions about the topic, the assistant may not give you credit for the class. You will then have to pass the topic during the following classes.

    Sick leave

    Please note that only an official sick leave containing a sickness number is accepted.

    A certificate issued by a doctor at the student's request will not be accepted.
