Methods of verification and forms of documenting the achieved learning outcomes
The knowledge is checked in writing after the end of a given thematic block. There are two written tests in the semester, consisting of open and closed descriptive tasks and test tasks. The sum of points obtained in a particular test is expressed in a relative percentage scale, where 100% is the maximum number of points that can be obtained in the test. The scope of knowledge tested in tests includes lecture and practice topics.
The basis for crediting a semester / module1 is:
- obtaining a minimum of 51% percentage points from each of the written tests.
- the semester grade is calculated as the arithmetic mean of grades ≥ 3.0 (satisfactory) from 2 written tests.
Moreover, to pass the module it is necessary to be present in at least 85% of the exercises included in the module plan.
The final exam consists of a theoretical part (open descriptive tasks, closed descriptive tasks, single and / or multiple-choice test tasks) and a practical part (writing prescriptions for prescription drugs). The scope of knowledge in the exam covers all topics covered in the subject of Pharmacy. The practical part is 25% of the maximum number of points to be obtained in the exam, at the same time its result must be positive to pass the entire exam.
The sum of the points obtained in the exam is expressed in a relative percentage scale, where 100% is the maximum number of points that can be obtained.
Percentage of grades (tests and exam): very good – 91-100%, plus good – 81-90% good – 71-80% plus satisfactory – 61-70%, satisfactory – 51-60%, unsatisfactory – 0-50 %

Module evaluation
Test 1 – weight 12.5%
Test 2 – weight 12.5%
Exam – weight 75%
The final grade for completing the course is calculated as follows: [Course grade x 0.25] + [Exam grade x 0.75]
The value calculated above is converted into the final grade in the following way: value from the range <0; 3,0) becomes 2; values in the range <3.0; 3.25) is rounded to 3; a value between <3.25; 3.75) is rounded to 3.5; values in the range <3.75; 4.25) is rounded to 4; a value between <4.25; 4.75) is rounded to 4.5; values in the range <4.75; 5.0> is rounded to 5.0.
