General and
specific knowledge
acquired at the
course (goal)
In the IXth semester students deepen knowledge and skills acquired in the
VIIth and the VIIIth semester to improve their competences. Upon acquiring
suggested knowledge and skills, student is able to recognize the muscles,
tendons and ligaments diseases and undertake basic treatment. He (she)
becomes familiar with joint diseases, their basic treatment and indication for
reffering patients to appropriate clinic. He (she) is also familiar with the
diagnostics and basical treatment of bone fractures in small animals. He
(she) is qualified to administer first aid, immobilize the fracture and
recommend treatment options. He (she) is familiar with diagnostics and
basical treatment of lameness, muscles, tendons and tendon cover diseases
in big animals. It can recognize paralysis and paresis in pets and big animals
and indications for their reffering to adequate clinics. He (she) is acquanted
with the basic diagnostics of hoof and claw diseases in big animals, capable
of treating simpler cases and assessing the need for reffering patients to

The informations about the beginning and the end of classes and the
time-table with locations of the 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 foreing languages or remote
education are not scheduled. The faculty members and assistants
holding classes, the ways of taking exams and testing criteria for the
Surgery, orthopedics and ophthalmology course III in the winter
semester will be determined as follows.
1 Presence at the classes
2 Presence at the training
3 Participation in the training
4 Continual knowledge testing
5 Final exam
During one semester of the „Surgery, orthopedics and ophthalmology“
course student must be present at 15 hours of lectures (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 30 hours of training (out of
45) 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 = keeping patient records in an orderly manner

25 credits = keeping anesthesia records in an orderly manner

Continual
knowledge
testing
Final exam
The number of credits a student has to get in order to acquire minimal 5
credits is 37.5. Activity of students during the training will be continually
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 satiscfactory level of
knowledge at the final exam. The minimal number of credits at the final
exam is 24.
Final grade
If the student is not good enough at the final exam, the teacher fixes a date
for repeated exam.
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.
