When evaluating the student's knowledge, participation in the discussions in each lesson is taken into account, as well as the student's activity, the accuracy of tests by using the names of the examinations, indications and contraindications, with the understanding and assessment of the ability to find new diagnosis and anticipate future opportunities. For each lesson the student is evaluated with a mark. The course evaluation mark is formed from the sum of all practical lesson marks divided by the number of lessons. The student's readiness (short presentation) and activity (questions, participation in the discussion) in the lesson are assessed.
