Rules and Regulations of Department of Medical Physics
Winter semester 2014/2015 (valid from 01 October 2014)
1. The purpose of the exercises and seminars of biophysics is to present biophysical aspects of physiology
as well as physical phenomenon applications in medical equipment. The mainstream of students’ activity
is based on the methods and theories applied in contemporary medicine.
2. All activities (30 hours seminars and labs) are obligatory; knowledge of their content is necessary either
for appropriate classes or for passing final test. Knowledge of the students is controlled by the tutor
during the classes in the oral form.
3. During the exercises student has to pay special attention on safety not switching on himself any
equipment. Each exercise has to be done following the instruction. Any doubt everyone can consult with
the tutor.
4. Student’s misbehaviour, non-cooperation or lack of basic knowledge may result in no seminar and/or
laboratory credit.
5. After finishing the measurements students have to prepare a written report and deliver one in two weeks.
6. Each student is allowed to be absent once a semester.
7. Unjustified absence of 3 or more seminars and exercises needs the Dean’s approval for further
biophysics study.
8. To obtain credit student is required to attend the seminars & laboratories, and to deliver all study reports.
For the best achievements each student can collect up to 4 points, which be added to the result of final
test.
9. After successfully completing all works required during the semester, the student is allowed to enter the
final test.
10. Passing the test finishes the course of biophysics. The test is consisted of the 40 single-choice
questions. The student gets credit of biophysics if more than half answers are correct.
