Requirements
Compulsory reading:
Lecture materials and description of lab practical (published on the web page of the Department).
Medical Biophysics (Editors.: S. Damjanovich, J. Fidy, J. Szöllősi, Medicina, Budapest, 2009, ISBN: 978-963-226-127-0)
Condition for signing the lecture book:
- All labs have done (if one missed, only one repetition option is available)
- Lab exam attended (no make-up is available)
- Minimally 5 out of 6 biostatistics seminars attended (no make-up is available)
- Signing up for the electronic course PHARM-Biophysics at the exam.unideb.hu website by the end of week 3 (the site can only be reached from inside the University network)
- Lecture attendance is strongly recommended
Practical requirements
Students write a short quiz (may contain test questions and short calculation problem(s)) before each lab topic. At least 50% must be earned in this test to be eligible for doing the lab. Students failing the quiz need to repeat it then do the practicals within the frame of spare practicals.
In the laboratory practical, a laboratory logbook (into a booklet with stable pages) should be written to make the conditions of the measurements accomplished repeatable according to the notes. Students must be prepared for the lab. One part of this preparation is a summary of the theoretical part of the lab exercises to be performed. Each lab is graded from 1 to 5. The average score of 4 or 5 of all labs is rewarded with a +1 exam point. That is added to the laboratory practical exam result. In case of unpreparedness, the lab exercise should be repeated, where a maximum of 2 points can be obtained for the make-up lab. An immediate organization of the make-up lab is the student’s responsibility by obtaining written permission from the tutor at the end of the logbook.
Exams and grading:
- Lab exam (see the actual timetable) – 10+1 points max
- Final exam in biostatistics (see the actual timetable) – 20 points max
- Exemption test (electronic) in biophysics, or written exam (electronic) in the final exam - 70 points max
Total: 100 points.
Grades:
-
- 50< pass (2)
- 60< satisfactory (3)
- 70< good (4)
- 80< excellent (5)
- Please note that lab and biostatistics work during the semester constitutes a compulsory part of the final score, which cannot be changed during the exam period, so take your studies seriously throughout the semester.
Repeaters
The signature obtained for the subject earlier is making students exempted from attending labs and biostatistics seminars.
Exempted students can choose to keep their scores from last year or to take the exams together with the rest of the class during the semester. Exemption-related decisions must be made before the end of the 3rd week of education, and the study advisor at biophysedu@med.unideb.hu notified about it. In the absence of written notification, we automatically assume that the last year’s score is kept, and no further changes will be possible later. Biostatistics and Lab exemptions, scores, exams are independent of each other.
