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 who did not attend at least 8 lectures will not have points for lecture attendance.
Students who attend 8 to 10 lectures will be granted 1 point.
Students who attend 11 or 12 lectures will be granted 2 points.
Students who attend 13 to 15 lectures will be granted 3 points.
Seminars:
Seminars follow the topics from lectures and laboratory practice. Students may earn up to 1 point per seminar, for a maximum of 10 points in the first 10 seminars. The last two seminars are not graded.
Colloquiums:
The colloquium is a 17-question test, each worth 1 point. Students can earn up to 17 points.
Practical exam:
The practical exam has 4 questions from the laboratory practices. Students must score at least 14 out of 20 points to pass. Only those who pass may take the final test.

The final test consists of 50 questions. Students must earn at least 30 out of 50 points to pass the final test.
Key to grading:
lectures (up to 3 points)+seminars (up to 10 points)+colloquiums (up to 17 points)+practical exam (up to 20 points)+final test (up to 50 points)=up to 100 points
