Course status Mandatory

Purposes of the course ▪ To give the student a broad and systematic knowledge of the
anatomy of the skin and osteomuscular system;
▪ To give the student a basic knowledge of radiology so that he/she
can identify the basic anatomical structures of the osteomuscular
system;
▪ To give the student a basic knowledge of physiology, in particular,
the bioelectric processes taking place in tissues, to introduce
neuroregulation in the functioning of the body, the function of the
autonomic nervous system, and the interconnections.
▪ To give the student a knowledge of the physiological processes of
the skin, bone, and muscle.
Amount of credits (ECTS) Total – 10 credits / 300 hours

Assessment system Knowledge of a student is assessed with a 100-point grading system. 100
points represents a maximum grade. The prerequisite for acquiring ECTS
credit is to accumulate at least 51 points out of 100.

The knowledge assessment system includes:

a) Five types of positive assessment:
a.a) (A) Excellent - 91-100 points;
a.b) (B) Very good - 81-90 points;
a.c) (C) Good - 71-80 points;
a.d) (D) Satisfactory - 61-70 points;
a.e) (E) Sufficient - 51-60 points.
3
 b) Two types of negative assessment:
b.a) (FX) Did not pass - 41-50 points, which means that a student needs to
work harder to pass and is granted with the right to take one additional
exam in terms of independent work;
b.b) (F) Fail- 40 points and less, which means the performance of a student
is not sufficient and the learner has to study the subject again.

The student will be admitted to the additional examination if he/she has

exceeded the minimum threshold of the final positive assessment (51
points) but has not exceeded the minimum threshold of the final exam.
The student will be admitted to the final exam if he / she exceeds the
minimum threshold of the intermediate assessment.

Credit can be granted if:

a) The student's results exceeded the minimum threshold of the final exam;
b) The student got at least 51 points out of a maximum 100 points in the
final evaluation.

Minimum threshold of the integrated module’s in each subject is 50 %,

Minimum threshold of intermediate assessment is 50% (30 points),
for the final exam – 50%+1 (21 points).
Evaluation components, Student’s knowledge assessment:
methods and criteria
Total assessment - 100 points
Midterm assessment- 60 points:
● Quiz – 20 points
● Oral Survey-20 points
● Midterm – 20 points
Final exam - 40 points

Description of evaluation criteria:

1. Quiz- 20 points
● Quiz is conducting twice in a semester and each is graded with 10
points. It includes 20 MCQ
● Each MCQ question is assessed by 0,5 point

2. Oral Survey- 20 points

The oral survey is conducted 20 times per semester. Each of them
is evaluated by 1 point. (8 times in Anatomy, 8 times in
Physiology, 4 times in Imaging)
The criteria of the oral survey are:
1 point: The student is well-prepared, thoroughly masters the syllabus
material. The answers to the questions are correct, substantiated and
accurate. A student has a good understanding of the material.
0.5 point: The student knows only a part of the syllabus topic, the
answers to the questions are correct, but incomplete / not exhaustive.

4
 0 point: The student is completely unprepared, has not studied the
topic of the syllabus, cannot answer questions.

3. Midterm exam-20 points

consists of 30 questions, among 20 MCQ (0,5 point) and 10 MCQ (1
point).

4. Final exam - 40 points.

OSPE - 10 points and test - 30 points.
● Test: consist 47 questions, among 34 MCQ (0.5 point) and 13 MCQ
(1 point)

● OSPE: Objectively structured practical exam, which assessed by 10

points and represented by 4 stations. The evaluation of each
component at the stations is determined according to the evaluation
sheet so that the total evaluation is 10 points. The assessment sheet
is designed considering performed task specifics. The distribution
of the corresponding points of the assignment performed at the
station is given in detail in the evaluation sheet

Plagiarism and cheating are serious forms of academic misconduct and

violation of the norms and requirements for academic integrity. Using
somebody's ideas and opinion without proper citation and referencing is
not tolerated. If there are any precedents of plagiarism, a lecturer is required
not to assess and evaluate a student's work. Written assignments, which
require citation and referencing are checked through plagiarism detection
software (Turnitin). Written assignments with any occurrence of
plagiarism will not be assessed and a lecturer should provide feedback to a
student clarifying the reason. A student is eligible to appeal the decision
about nullifying an assignment. The appeal is studied in accordance with
the University Code of Ethic and Disciplinary Liability.
Administrative notes The course lecturer must inform the students about the academic program
requirements and the workload peculiarities at the first lecture.

The student shall:

⮚ Attentively see the course syllabus.
⮚ Meet with the syllabus requirements (do homework; prepare for a
seminar or practical work, test, presentation, etc.).
