Microbiology 2

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Brief description of the topic: Systematic bacteriology, mycology and parasitology are the main subjects of the second semester. Finally, the course is completed by a block of lectures that integrates the knowledge with a clinical microbiology approach, i.e. discussing microbiology from an organ system-based point of view. The objective of the course is to provide a solid knowledge of the pathophysiology of infections required to request, understand and interpret results received from the microbiological laboratory.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

The knowledge gained in the practicals is assessed on the last practical of the spring semester. The successful completion of this is a prerequisite for signing the Microbiology 2 course and thus passing the final examination.

The practical assessment is oral.

The assessment may be:

Pass.

Failure.

In the case of failure ('fail' result), the assessment may be repeated at a pre-arranged time, but only once during the semester of study. The re-assessment may be attended by a member of the Institute's teaching staff besides the supervisor.

The practical assessment is theoretical and does not include practical activities. In the event of failure of the re-assessment, the semester will not be signed.

Mid-term exams

The knowledge gained in the practicals is assessed on the last practical of the spring semester. The successful completion of this is a prerequisite for signing the Microbiology 2 course and thus passing the final examination.

The practical assessment is oral.

The assessment may be:

Pass.

Failure.

In the case of failure ('fail' result), the assessment may be repeated at a pre-arranged time, but only once during the semester of study. The re-assessment may be attended by a member of the Institute's teaching staff besides the supervisor.

The practical assessment is theoretical and does not include practical activities. In the event of failure of the re-assessment, the semester will not be signed.

Making up for missed classes

Microbiology is taught through lectures and practicals. The Institute insists on active participation in practical sessions, as only there can the practical knowledge and skills necessary for the collection and handling of microbiological samples be acquired. A prerequisite for the signature - for the semester to be accepted - is that a student who misses a practical, if possible, make up for the missed class in another group in the same subject

Exam topics/questions

At the end of the second semester, students take a written exam. For the final exam, the Institute will provide several opportunities for the exam and the follow-up exams during the exam period, according to the study and exam regulations.

The exam questions cover the topics of both semesters. The final exam will consist of lectures and practicals. It is important to note that the necessary knowledge is often unavailable in textbooks or manuals.

The exam questions cover the topics of semesters 1 and 2.

The written exam consists of multiple-choice questions.
