During the study course, lecturers test their knowledge with the help of short tests (multiple-choice choice test or other short form of examination according to the lecturer's instructions). Students take colloquia during their studies, which consist of theoretical questions in the form of a multiple-choice test and / or clinical tasks that reflect the pathologies acquired during the studies. At the end of the study course, in accordance with the planning of the respective study program, students take a written or electronic exam in the form of a multiple-choice choice test. According to RSU Study Regulations (approved by RSU Senate on April 21, 2020; protocol No.2-1 / 4/2020) clause 2.16, the final mark of the study course consists of cumulative assessment (50%) and true knowledge acquired by the student (50% ) according to the result of the final examination of the course. Evaluation of all tests, incl. percentage and with marks, is performed in accordance with the current version of Riga Stradiņš University Study Regulations I.
