7. Methods of verification of learning outcomes
To successfully complete the Latin in medicine course, each student needs to obtain a credit. To
obtain a credit, a student is required to:
• attend all classes – each student is allowed to miss two classes without having to give an
excuse.
A student who misses more than 2 classes will not be allowed to take the course test at the
end of the academic year and will not receive course credits.
Absences due to illness will be excused on presentation of a valid medical note within one week
after returning to class. If a student misses a class, she/he must catch up on the missed material.
• come to classes punctually - if a student arrives late three (3) times, it will constitute one
absence. If a student is 15 or more minutes late, it will constitute one absence.
• actively participate in each class
• complete all the assignments by the due date
• pass the final course test at the end of the semester
Students who fail the course test can sit a retake test twice. The first retake is held at least a week
after the first attempt, the second and FINAL retake two weeks after the first retake or after the
summer holidays, in the last week before the retake examination period begins. The final course
grade which student receives is the score of the course test (Grade: 2 (fail) / 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5
(very good)), or a grade 3 (satisfactory) for passing a retake test.
Students who miss a scheduled test will not receive a credit unless they present a valid medical
note within one week after returning to class and make up for the missed test.
The dates of the course test, the retake and make-up tests are set by the Course Coordinator and
the Dean’s Office.
Students who fail the second retake need to repeat the course.
