The course numeral grade (excluding microbiology and medical calculations ) consists of average grade of nursing exams. There are 5 exams in the course which all have to be passed with at least grade 1 in order to get the course approved. If the average grade is below 1, the student will do a resit exam which includes questions from all nursing topics of the course.
In addition, the following parts needed to be approved:
Medical calculations: Approved/Failed, Approved grade requires 100% right in exam
Microbiology: Approved/Failed, Approved grade requires the minimum of 50% right in the exam
The whole course is evaluated and credits given from the course only after all the above mentioned criteria are met (nursing, medical calculations, microbiology)
