Exam regulation and exam assessment criteria

 A positive mark on the exam is set in the interval 70-100 points. In case of non-appearance of the student the exam mark and the rating are not calculated.

Exam is held in the written form as testing of knowledge of all sections of pharmacology. The task contains questions about classifications, mechanisms of action, pharmacological effects, indications and contraindications, side effects of  drugs, as well as questions of general pharmacology. The task contains 50 numbered items or incomplete statements followed by four answers or by completions of statement. Student selects one correct lettered answer or completion that is the best in each case.

Each correct answer – 2 points, maximal for all correct answers – 100 points.

 The result of exam is also entered into the computer.

 The final rating of the discipline is calculated after passing the exam and is announced
students on the day of the exam. The discipline rating is entered in the gradebook along with the assessment in accordance with traditional scale assessing the results of intermediate certification:

"fine"                                                   90-100 points
"good"                                                 80-89 points

"satisfactorily"                                     70-79 points
"unsatisfactory"                                     0-69 points         
  

Written appeals can be made to the head of the department in
the day of the announcement of the final rating; appeal consideration and decision on it is made on the same day.

Re-examination of the pharmacology exam in the framework of the “Knowledge Rating Rating System students" in order to improve the assessment is carried out only with the permission of the Vice-Rector for educational activities of KSMU.

Examination Appeal Procedure

The student has the right to file a written appeal with the head of the dean's office (institute) about a violation, in his opinion, of the established examination procedure and (or) disagreement with the exam results. The appeal is submitted by the student personally no later than the next business day after the announcement of the results of the exam.

     To consider the appeal on the proposal of the head of the dean’s office (institute), by order of the vice-rector for educational activities, an appeal commission shall be created in the amount of not less than 3 teachers, from among whom the chairman and secretary are appointed. The examiner cannot be included in the appeal panel.

An appeal no later than 3 working days from the date of its submission is considered at a meeting of the appeal commission, to which the student who has filed an appeal is invited. The student’s absence does not impede the meeting.

       The decision of the appeal commission is brought to the attention of the student who filed the appeal, within 3 working days from the day of the meeting of the appeal commission. The fact that the student who filed the appeal is acquainted with the decision of the appeals commission is certified by the student’s signature.

When considering an appeal for violation of the examination procedure, the appeal commission takes one of the following decisions:

- on the rejection of the appeal, if the information contained in it about violations of the examination procedure has not been confirmed and (or) did not affect the exam result;

- on the satisfaction of the appeal, if the information contained in it about the committed violations of the examination procedure was confirmed and influenced the exam result. If the appeal is upheld, the exam result is subject to cancellation. The student is given the opportunity to pass the exam within the time period established by order of the rector for intermediate certification (including as part of another academic group) or to eliminate academic debt. Repeated examination is carried out in the presence of one of the members of the appeal commission.

When considering an appeal on disagreement with the results of the exam, the appeal commission makes one of the following decisions:

- On the rejection of the appeal and the preservation of the result of the exam;

- on the satisfaction of the appeal and setting a different exam result. In this case, the previously set exam result is canceled and a new one is set.

The decision of the appeals commission is final and not subject to review. An appeal for re-examination is not accepted.
