Reading material

Obligatory literature

Damjanovich Sándor, Fidy Judit, Szöllősi János (eds.): Medical Biophysics, Medicina, Budapest, 2008

Literature developed by the Department

Online materials on departmental website (https://aok.pte.hu/hu/egyseg/10)

Notes

The official handouts can be found in the Teams group of the subject and in the PotePedia platform.

Recommended literature

P.W. Atkins and Loretta Jones: Chemical Principles

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Obtaining the signature is automatic if the number of absences are not higher than 25%.

Mid-term exams

Students take a test in week 13, which includes theoretical questions and calculations related to the exercises. To practice the calculations, sample problems are provided in the official practice note at the end of each chapter. The result of the test will be the practical grade. In the event of a failed test, two make-ups are possible during the exam period.

Making up for missed classes

Those students who missed the test due to medical reasons can write the tests at the end of the semester.
