KNOWLEDGE TESTING
The informations about the beginning and the end of classes and the timetable with location of classes will be on the bulletin board and on the
Clinic's and the Veterinary Faculty's web sites. Classes are held in
Croatian language; classes in foreign languages or remote education are
not scheduled. The faculty members and assistants holding classes, the
ways of taking exams and testing critetia for the Surgery, orthopedics and
ophthalmology course I in the winter semester will be determined as
follows.

Način provjere znanja
During one semester of the „Surgery, orthopedics and ophthalmology“
course a student must be present at 15 hours of classes (out of 30) to get
minimal 3 credits. The maximal possible number of credits in this element
of evaluation is 6.
During a semester student must be present at 40 hours of training (out of
60) to get minimum 8 credits . The maximal possible number of credits in
this element is 12.
Active participation in the training can bring 75 credits – amounting to the
final 10 credits for this element of evaluation – if a student fulfills the
following tasks:
25 credits (first training sessions – topical – no activity evaluation; second
training sessions – topical – no activity evaluation; third training sessions
– maximum 5 credits, fourth training sessions – maximum 5 credits, fifth
training sessions – topical – no activity evaluation, sixth training sessions
– topical – no activity evaluation, seventh training sessions – maximum 5
credits, eighth training sessions - maximum 5 credits, ninth training
sessions – maximum 5 credits) = patient records keeping in an orderly
manner

Continual
knowledge
testing
The number of credits a student has to get in order to acquire minimal
final 5 credits is 37.5. Activity of students during the training will be
continualy monitored.
In one semester 3 (three) preliminary exams will be organized during the
training, each comprising eleven (11) tasks or questions. Every correctly
answered question and fulfilled task is worth 1 (one) credit. A sudent
must have 21 credits (minimun 7 in each preliminary exam to get a
favourable mark) to achieve minimal final 20 credits. Within this element
it is possible to achieve maximum 32 credits. A student who does not
achieve minimal 7 credits for each preliminary exam (total 21) is allowed
a makeup test, which will include the material of the part of the training
where he (she) failed. The makeup test will be organized after the end of
the classes in that semester. The student who passes the makeup test
having answered correctly over one half of the questions/tasks can take

the final exam.
Before the final exam, students will be given the possibility to make up for
the missed training and take makeup test, in the case of excused absence.
Minimal requirements for a passing mark in the first, second, third and
forth evaluation element are added together and amount to 36 credits.
The final exam bigins with the brief analysis of the student's results in the
first four procedures of continual knowledge testing. The questions in the
final exam are put both in written and oral form. In written form, there
will be 5 questions, of which 4 must be answered correctly to enable
taking the oral part of the exam.The maximal number of credits that can
be achieved in the final exam is 40; 1 correct answer = 4 credits. However,
even if the number of credits from the first four evaluation elements
exceeds 36, the student has to demonstrate at least a satisfactory level of
knowledge at the final exam. The minimal number of credits at the last
exam is 24.
If a student is not good enough at the final exam, the teacher fixes a date
for the repeated exam.
Final exam
Final grade
Whether the credits from the first four elements were achieved based on
the makeup exam or not, the rules for forming the final grade are the
same. The final grade is formed according to the sum of credits achieved
from all 5 evaluation elements, as shown in the table below.
The final grade for the subject is expressed quantitatively, in numerical
credit value and the grade adequate to the credit value, from 1 to 5. Grade
1 means that the student did not master the subject, that is, that he (she)
failed the exam.
