During the study course, lecturers test knowledge using short test works (multiple-choice test or other short form of test as per lecturer’s instruction). According to the thematic planning of the classes, students take written colloquia in pathology during the academic year of studies. At the end of the study course, students pass a written examination in the form of a multiple-choice test according to the planning of the respective study programme. In accordance with the RSU Academic Regulations (approved at the RSU Senate meeting of 21 April 2020; minutes No.2-1/4/2020), Paragraph 2.16, the final mark of the study course consists of the cumulative assessment (50%) and knowledge obtained by the student (50%) in accordance with the result of the final course examination. The assessment of all test works, incl. in percentage and with grades, takes place in accordance with the current version of the Academic Regulations I of Rīga Stradiņš University.
