PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Pathophysiology is a study of causes, mechanisms, course and consequences of the disease. The
study gives an explanation of organism disfunction mechanisms as a reason or consequence of
various diseases on molecular, cellular and systemic level. This knowledge should create basis for
good understanding the pathomechanisms of disturbed life processes in different diseases and
indicate proper laboratory tests for its affirmation.
Before starting tutorials the students should revise the anatomy, physiology, histology and
biochemistry.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
1.
Time table for Pathophysiology course includes 15 2-hour lectures and 15 3-hour tutorials in
the second semester.
2. Any information regarding the time table and current matters is shown on the noticeboard.
3. Students are expected to prepare for each tutorial taking account of the information on the
noticeboard. Participation in tutorials is compulsory. Every absence must be accounted for and
cleared by the tutor. The missed tutorial must be rescheduled with the tutor to occur within the
current period of tutorials.
4. After each period of tutorials there is a test and it takes place during the lecture no. 5th, 10th,
13th, 15th. Test contains 30 questions. Test grading system: fail (2.0) <16 points; sufficient (3.0): 16
- 19 points; sufficient plus: 20 - 22 points; good (4.0): 23 - 25 points; good plus (4.5): 26 - 28
points; very good (5.0): 29 - 30 points.
5. In the event of failing the test a student has one chance to retake it.
6. Pathophysiology course ends with an exam which covers all the material in the tutorials and
lectures. Entrance to the final exam is only granted after all the tests have been passed.
Continuous assessment and grades obtained in tutorials constitute part of the final grades in the
tests.
7. Exam contains 40 questions. Exam grading system: fail (2.0) <21 points; sufficient (3.0): 21 26 points; sufficient plus: 27 - 31 points; good (4.0): 32 - 35 points; good plus (4.5): 36 - 38 points;
very good (5.0): 39 - 40 points.
8. The Head of the Chair of Pathophysiology prof. Danuta Rość is available for consultations
with students every Thursday ……………………
9. Course coordinator dr. Justyna Kwapisz is available for consultations with students every
………………………………….
10. Students must wear white lab coats during the practical element of the tutorials.
11. Absence on medical grounds must be certified and cleared with the tutor with the 7 days of
the absence.
12. Student must prepare one presentation (10 minutes long) during the semester. The
presentation will be assessed with grades 0, 1 or 2 and will contribute to the final grade of the
test. Student failing to prepare for a given presentations will receive a grade of minus one.
13. During classes students are expected to behave in a manner approached to an academic
setting. Students mustn’t use Internet during the tutorials.
