Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Successful completion of the tooth identification and tooth carving exam in the last two weeks of the term in a practical class.

Mid-term exams

By the end of the semester (14th week) the student should present the required number of carved teeth

Making up for missed classes

Exam topics/questions

On the last two weeks of the semester tooth identification and tooth carving exam is held.
Written examination during the exam period with the following types of tasks:

true–false statements,

single-choice questions,

short-answer questions requiring one to a few words.

The result of the written examination is determined based on percentage performance, the mark is assigned according to the following grading scale:

90–100%: excellent (5)

80–89%: good (4)

70–79%: satisfactory (3)

60–69%: pass (2)

0–59%: fail (1)

The final course grade is calculated from the three components as follows: tooth identification (15%), tooth carving (15%), and written examination (70%).
In order to pass the exam, all parts have to be successfully completed.
