The aim of the human genetics teaching is to provide students with basic knowledge of the inheritance and variability in humans in the light of current developments in this field. Also, during this course, students will learn through an interdisciplinary approach, how to monitor the healthy and the sick and how to use the acquired knowledge in all medical disciplines during the studies.

HUMAN GENETICS-GRADING POLICY
Lectures:
Students attending lectures regularly will be rewarded with up to 2.5 points according to the following scheme:
14-15 lectures: 2.5 points
12-13 lectures: 2 points
10-11 lectures: 1.5 points
8-9 lectures: 1 point
Attendance at 7 or less lectures will not be counted.
Seminars:
Seminars follow topics covered by the lectures and laboratory practices. According to the level of your knowledge regarding given themes, you may collect up to 1.5 points per seminar (up to 7.5 points for all seminars):
I seminar-1,5 points
II seminar-1,5 points
III seminar-1,5 points
IV seminar-1,5 points
V seminar-1,5 points
Colloquiums:
Colloquiums are in the form of the 10-question tests. Students can collect up to 10 points per colloquium (a total of 20 points for two colloquia).
Practical exam:
The practical exam is composed of 4 questions that correspond to the tasks covered by the laboratory practices. Students must collect at least 14 out of the maximum 20 points to pass the practical exam. Only students who pass the practical exam may take the final test.
Final test:
The final test is in the form of a 50-question test. Students must collect at least 30 out of 50 points to pass the final test.
Key to grading:
lectures (up to 2.5 points)+seminars (up to 7.5 points)+colloquiums (up to 20 points)+practical exam (up to 20 points)+final test (up to 50 points)=up to 100 points
