Content prerequisite: Chemistry, Biology, Latin terminology Continuous assessment: 100 % active participation on practical exercises from Microbiology, individual work, 2 credit tests - in 6th and 12th wek of the semester (min. 5.5 points, max. 10 points/per test). Conditions for completion of course: Conditions for Microbiology course are 100 % active participation on practical lessons and 2 credit tests (minimum is 5.5 points, maximum is 10 points). Exam consists from practical and written part. Written exam (test) has 3 parts (General microbiology, Special bacteriology and Virology) that cannot be written separately. The final mark of exam is a summary of results from credit tests, practical exam and results from written part of the test. Final mark: credit (10-20 %), practical exam (11-20 %) and test (30-60 %). If the teaching is moved to the online space due to specific situations, there may be some changes in the number or nature of questions through the MOODLE platform, but the basic condition is to reach at least 51%. Final assessment: Credit: gives 1/5 of the final result. Examination: consists of two parts: practical and written part (General Microbiology, Special Bacteriology and Virology). Practical exam is a condition for written part (test). Practical part - oral exam (11-20 %). Written test: each part (10-20 points), together 30-60 %. Final evaluation (minimum 51 %): is sum of credit, practical exam and written exam (all 3 parts).
