About Study Course
Objective
Preliminary Knowledge
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.After successful studies student should be able to define physiological parameters, describe functions of tissues, organs and organ systems; principles and mechanisms of their regulation. Student should be able to use the acquired knowledge for further studies of evaluation of the persons functional state, different methods of investigation an therapy. Student should be able to analyze results of the simplest physiological measurements and explain the importance of test performance in evaluation of the patient condition.
Skills
1.After successful studies student should be able to do the basic physiological measurements, to use acquired knowledge in computer analysis of physiologic measures. Student should be able to use acquired knowledge about physiological regulation mechanisms in clinical task solving.
Competences
1.Acquired knowledge and skills student should be able to use in further studies and in evaluation of patients condition and results of intervention.

• to study regularly, independently accordingly to the curriculum and programme of the study course;
• to complete the tasks at appropriate quality and submit in a timely manner the results for evaluation. For every practical assignment the student independently forms a protocol accordingly to the set tasks and uploads it in e-studies until the set dates. Some of the assigned tasks do not require for them to be uploaded in e-studies, then independent work involves – to answer questions in e-studies in a form of structured tasks. Each of these tasks will be assessed accordingly to the quality of work. If the assessment is negative, mistakes and discrepancies must be corrected and the task handed in once again, by observing the set dates for that.
In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal.

|
• Students' participation in practical classes;
• Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in practical classes;
• Weekly evaluation of knowledge and skills
• Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in lab protocols;
• Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in colloquia (student can take a colloquium only if all protocols before the particular colloquium are accepted) – student should pass all colloquia in the study course with the successful grade;
• Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in the exam. Exam grade is applied only for students who have passed all course colloquia with successful grades. Exam grade is cumulative. The mean colloquium percentage from all successful course colloquia is calculated; 1% is added to it for each colloquium that is done successfully during the scheduled colloquium class. The final percentage is expressed as grade according the 10-point scale described in learning outcomes assessment system in the RSU Academic regulations.
