Compulsory subject 1st year 2nd semester

2.5 hours lecture/week + 3 hours practice/week

Lecture: Thursday 13:10-15:15 Szent-Györgyi lecture hall

credit: 6

Tutor: Dr. István Voszka (phone: 459-1500/60211)

Condition for signature: participation on at least 75 % of the practices, the result of both midterm tests should be at least 2.

After the semester there is semifinal exam (written test + oral). One has to achieve at least 50% of the possible points on the written part in order to pass. The student whose average of midterm tests is at least 4 (concerning only the first trials) can get exemption from the written test. The exemption is valid only for the first exam. The oral part contains two theoretical question and one practice question. Failure is possible also on the oral part. if one failed on the oral part, the written part must be repeated, too.

REQUIREMENTS
Participation in the practical lessons is compulsory. No more than three absences from practices are allowed for any reason, otherwise the semester will not be credited. Missed sessions must be reported to the teacher the week after. If it is possible one should do the missed measurements with another group. (It is possible within the 4 weeks cycle)
Students must write a lab. report for each measurement. The registration card is signed only when the report is acceptable. The report is due two weeks after the measurement. At the final exam time all students must show their collection of reports to the examiner.
Assessing the students knowledge
Midterm test covering the material of lectures and practical lessons: twice a semester (6., 11. week) Repetition of unsuccessful test: 8., 13. week. For credit one must pass both midterm tests.
Short tests: possible every week (up to the teacher).

At the end of the second semester we organize a competition. The condition for participation: the average result of midterm tests is at least 3.5.

A tantárgy feladata az orvosképzés céljainak megvalósításában

Our teaching program is evolving continuously. Focused on the general objective of meeting the requirements of the medical curriculum, the courses are also intended to provide specific medical biophysics training.
Todays students will be the physicians of the oncoming decades. In selecting and highlighting topics of study, the first viewpoint is scientific foresight: the knowledge should be conveyed which must be pertinent to ensure first-class professional competence while keeping abreast of the most recent development in the field of study. Our aim is not only the teaching of a specific body of knowledge but also the development of the exact scientific method and concrete problem-solving abilities.

   The examination period after the second semester is between May 21 and June 29. In this time period the following days can be chosen for the exam for biophysics:


May 24, 30 June 6, 13, 20, 27


Registration should be done on the NEPTUN system.

(The exam days in August will be announced in the second half of June.)
The exams start at 8 30 a.m., in the student’s laboratories of the department.

 

Form of the exam:

Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry:

The  semifinal exam consists of written test and oral. One has to achieve at least 50% of the possible points on the written part in order to pass. The student whose average of midterm tests is at least 4 (concerning only the first trials) can get exemption from the written test. The exemption is valid only for the first exam. The oral part contains two theoretical question and one practice question. Failure is possible also on the oral part.

Students have to register for the exam using the Neptun system. Change of exam date is possible until 8 a.m. two days before the exam. After  this time if the change is unavoidable one has to contact Dr. Voszka (ext. no: 60211. e-mail: voszka.istvan@med.semmelweis-univ.hu).
 
Sitting for a semifinal exam left from the first semester is possible on May 24 and 30. One can register on the Neptun system, too.

Consultations in the exam period will be on the following days (at 2 p.m. in each case): May 21, 29 June  5, 12, 19, 26 Aug. 21, 28.
