DETAILED EXAM-REGULATION\u00a0for REGULAR ZOOLOGY students<\/strong><\/span><\/p> (and for those re-taking the subject)<\/p> (updated: 24th of August, 2025)<\/em><\/p> <\/p> IMPORTANT NOTE<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/em>Students re-taking a given part of the subject are regarded as \u201cregular\u201d for that part, thus the information below shall apply. Exam dates for every student will be published through the NEPTUN-system shortly after the beginning of each academic semester.<\/em><\/p> Based on questions frequently asked by students about the organisation of the teaching and examination of the subject \u201cAnatomy\u201d the most important information for students has been compiled below. Should you, however, still have related questions please feel free to contact the corresponding contact professor of your class<\/a> via email. You are kindly requested not to address the head-of-departmen<\/span>t or his secretary with teaching-related or personal issues.<\/strong><\/p> Contents<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> <\/a>1. General information<\/strong><\/p> 1.1. There are no prescribed textbooks.\u00a0Any exam in anatomy will be based on the information given during lectures, plenary sessions, practicals and the\u00a0recommended books<\/a>\u00a0referred to in lectures \u2013 limited copies are available in the Library of the University:<\/p> 1.2.\u00a0All questions relating to the subject of anatomy are addressed in lectures on anatomy and are governed by the information available on the official website of the Department of Anatomy and Histology (hereafter: the Department). If you have any other questions, please email your class\u2019s contact professor<\/a>. You are kindly requested not to address the head-of-department or his secretary with teaching-related or personal issues.<\/strong><\/p> 1.3. Each and every examination organized by the Department shall be associated with an individual deadline for registration in the NEPTUN-System; thus we strongly recommend students to verify that deadline at least one week prior to the exam, since it is not possible to make any changes once the registration period has been closed! 1.4. In many cases, examinations in the NEPTUN-system are given an individual application deadline; thus, always please check at least one week before the exam how long you can modify your application for, as this is no longer possible after the application deadline.<\/p> 1.5. Anatomy lectures and plenary lectures are held in the Zimmermann Lecture Hall (Building \u201cE\u201d) at the scheduled times.<\/p> 1.6. All students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. Taking pictures, videos or recordings during the lectures, plenary sessions or practicals is strictly prohibited!<\/p> 1.7. Starting from September 2021, we are using a\u00a0 3D projection system for the plenary sessions. All students must obtain circular polarized 3D glasses to follow these.<\/p> According to\u00a0\u00a71.7, students must obtain for the plenary sessions:<\/p> – a pair of circular polarized 3D glasses (e.g.: Xpand polar<\/a>\u00a0– available in Budapest for example HERE <\/a>)<\/p> <\/p> <\/a>2. Laboratory practicals<\/strong><\/p> 2.1. Outfit<\/p> 2.1.1. White, long-sleeved lab coat compulsory at all times in the dissection theatre.<\/p> 2.1.2. Approriate headwear (long hair must be worn in a bun)<\/p> 2.1.3.\u00a0\u00a0High heels and open shoes are not permitted for safety and hygiene reasons.<\/p> 2.1.4.\u00a0Gloves<\/a>\u00a0are mandatory for every practical, and must be obtained by the students themselves (standard examination gloves, at least 2 pairs for each practical)<\/p> 2.1.5. Shoecovers\/Shoebags (provided by the Dept.) are mandatory for every practical.<\/p> 2.1.6. Protective plastic coats and sleeve protectors ( both provided by the Dept.) are mandatory for every dissection practical.<\/p> 2.2.\u00a0We advise students to eat and drink prior to the practicals.<\/p> 2.3. Students are forbidden to bring any digital device into the dissection hall.<\/p> 2.4. Starting from the first dissection practical, all students must bring their own dissection kits.\u00a0Required tools and equipment are as follows:<\/p> scalpel<\/a> (suggested size: #4) Further tools may be useful: scissors, anatomical forceps, hooks, forceps for vessels,\u00a0hemostats etc.<\/p> 2.5.\u00a0Lost items are collected in the labelled containers in the dissection hall dressing rooms.<\/p> 2.6. Assignment into groups:<\/p> 2.6.1.\u00a0The Department uses the official group assignment provided by the Students’ Secretariat.<\/p> 2.6.2.\u00a0You can attend the lab you are registered for only<\/strong>. A permanent change to that may be requested but has to be approved by both the Department and the Secretariat.<\/p> 2.7. Laboratory attendance is compulsory!<\/p> 2.8.\u00a0It is highly recommended that students bring lecture notes and\/or textbooks into the dissection hall. Hygiene regulations, however, have to be met and it is the responsibility of students to ensure the hygiene of their notes, the safety and hygiene of others around them and to prevent contamination.<\/p> 2.8.1. Notes and textbooks can only be placed onto the designated holders.<\/p> 2.8.2. Any textbooks or notes contaminated with biohazards must be dumped.<\/p> 2.9. Labs during the academic year:<\/p> 2.9.1. Practicals are held in building \u201cE1\u201d for the 1st\u00a0semester and in building \u201cP\u201d for the 2nd\u00a0and 3rd\u00a0semesters. The primary objective of the course is to provide the students with hands-on experience that should support and illustrate the concepts covered in the lectures and plenary sessions. Lab practice is about seeing and doing, thus please arrive well-prepared for the practicals to use the time efficiently. In addition, we advise students to focus on a weekly basis on recapitulating the topics covered in the plenary sessions.<\/p> 2.9.2. The Department registers student attendance based on the attendance lists at the beginning of each practical. It is the responsibility of the student to register themselves even in cases of being late or some other circumstances. Thus, please always make sure that you have been registered upon arrival.<\/p> 2.9.3 Stundents must hand over their log-books at the beginning of each practical and must collect them upon leaving.<\/p> <\/a>2.10. Absences:<\/p> 2.10.1.\u00a0With more than three (3) recorded absences your semester CANNOT be accepted for that subject<\/strong>; thus, it must be re-taken during a later semester for an additional fee in order to sit the examination. This includes any absences for scheduled clinical attendance.<\/p> 2.10.2. Students cannot be exempted from the regulations on absences by bringing any form of certification for missed practicals (such as a medical certificate).<\/p> 2.10.3. Due to logistical issues there will be no make-up practicals. If possible, arrangements shall be made for students to catch up any missed section during later regular practicals; please see your professor for advice. There will also be some limited opportunities<\/a> to visit the lab outside official hours with a tutor (see \u00a74. Consultation<\/a>).<\/p> <\/a>2.10.4. Upon prior request<\/strong> students may be allowed to switch exceptionally to a group other than that in which they are registered. Such a request, however, must be sent before noon to both of the affected tutors at the latest one working day before the practical. The request is only accepted after the agreement of both tutors. Such a request may affect ONE practical only and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.<\/p> 2.11. Due to the need for efficient laboratory management and due to the size of the groups it is not possible to attend additional labs outside the limits of a student\u2019s mandatory quota (including labs of different courses\/years).<\/p> 2.12. the student must take a separate examination on\u00a0the general rules of the dissection hall and on the anatomy examination rules (current page).<\/p> 2.12.1. Until the student passes both exams, they cannot take part in anatomy labs and this counts as a missed lab.<\/p> 2.12.2. Exam on the the the general rules of the dissection hall<\/p> 2.12.2.1.

Anyone who does not pass the exam to the deadline must take an oral examination in the office of dr. Reinitz L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Zolt\u00e1n at the time indicated in Moodle.<\/p> \u00a0<\/a>3. Midterms<\/strong><\/p> 3.1. During the first semester, the Department provides opportunities for the students to monitor their study progress.<\/p> 3.2. The midterms are voluntary; no make-up midterms will be organised.<\/p> 3.3 Reaching 75% in the midterms in the active semester will result in a partial exemption from the corresponding Anatomy I. practical exam.<\/p> 3.4. Exemptions are valid for the active semester only but would remain valid for any re-take exams of the subject the student may sit in that semester.<\/p> 3.5. Midterm results will be published through the NEPTUN-system, within three working days.<\/p> 3.6. The practical midterm of the autumn semester (bone-test) shall take the following form:<\/p> 3.6.1. During the regular, scheduled practical. Details published on this page<\/a>.<\/p> 3.6.2. Students shall be required to identify marked structures on bones and write their answers on the answer-sheet (pin-test). A similar type of exam shall be performed for the practical exam of the autumn semester and the entrance exam for the spring semester.<\/p> 3.6.3. Topic: skull,\u00a0skeleton of the trunk, forelimb and hindlimb.<\/p> 3.6.4. There will be 2 tables with 8 structures to identify on each (16 points in total). Students shall be given 5 minutes for each table.<\/p> <\/a>3.6.5.\u00a0Students score 75% or more in the midterm shall be exempted from the first (“bones only”) table of the practical exam; a maximum score for this table shall be recorded automatically for such students (\u00a76.6.5.<\/a>).<\/p> <\/p> <\/a>4. Consultations\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> 4.1. The Department does offer some limited additional opportunity<\/a> for\u00a0students to study the bones and formalin-preserved organs<\/strong> and to practise dissection.<\/p> 4.2.\u00a0Instructors (demonstrators) will be present during the practice. Their job is to help the students and ensure compliance with the general rules of the dissection theatre.<\/p> 4.3. These general rules must be obeyed during consultations, i.e. wearing appropriate lab coats and attire, refraining from eating, drinking, recording etc.<\/p> 4.4. Bones, and organs must not be taken out of the dissection theatre under any circumstances. The Department has no means of replacing damaged\/lost specimens and thus students are asked to take great care with the specimens with which they work.<\/p> 4.5. Failure to comply with these regulations, inappropriate behaviour or removal of specimens shall result in the suspension or termination of consultations.<\/p> <\/p> \u00a0<\/a>5. Examinations<\/strong><\/p> General notes<\/strong>: Every anatomy exam (all four) includes practical and theoretical parts. Completing the practical exam is always a prerequisite for sitting the theoretical exam, but registering for the theoretical exam is possible beforehand.<\/strong><\/p> IMPORTANT<\/strong>: Please verify your student status<\/a>!<\/p> 5.1. Every anatomy examination has two principal sections: a practical and a theoretical one. Students are required to present their study record books at both practical and oral exams. Passing the practical portion of the examination is always a prerequisite for\u00a0sitting\u00a0<\/strong>the theoretical exam; it is not<\/strong>, however,\u00a0a prerequisite for REGISTERING for the theoretical exam! Accordingly, you are welcome<\/strong>\u00a0to register for a theoretical date without having passed the practical. Prior to the theoretical exam the Department will remove the students who have not passed their practical examinations from the registration list without any negative consequences for the affected students.\u00a0<\/em><\/p> 5.1.1. Please be aware that the last week of the exam period is for re-takes of failed exams only.\u00a0<\/em><\/p> 5.1.2. There are 3 practical and 3 theoretical exam chances for every anatomy exam for regular students. Unused regular exam chances are lost.<\/p> 5.1.3.\u00a0A \u201cpass\u201d in a practical examination remains valid for later exam periods for Anatomy I., II., III.<\/p> <\/a>5.2. To sit any practical examination, you must not have more than 3 laboratory absences<\/a> recorded during the semester, i.e. the semester must be accepted \u2013 as certified by the \u201csignature\u201d of the authorized lecturer in the NEPTUN-system.<\/p> 5.3.\u00a0Please remember: registration deadlines may be significantly different for each exam, even for the same subject. \u00a0<\/strong>Accordingly, you are advised to verify the deadline for an exam registration at least one week prior to the exam. It is not possible to make any changes once the registration period has been closed.<\/p> <\/a>5.3.1. NEPTUN registration is mandatory for each exam.<\/strong> Unregistered students are not allowed to sit examinations (except for obligatory examinations for the Anatomy I. practical\u00a0during the last week)!<\/p> 5.3.2. If the exact time of the exam is not yet decided, students shall see an unrealistic setting (eg.: 2 a.m.) in Neptun. In this case,\u00a0date is valid only, time will be updated soon after the closure of the registration period. Location and further information is available in the NOTES section of the exam in Neptun or on this site<\/a>.<\/p> 5.4. Practical exams are evaluated with “non-satisfactory \/ satisfactory \/ excellent” marks.<\/p> 5.5. During written exams, the available time as well as the number, the distribution or the emphasis of different question-types may differ.<\/p> <\/a>5.6. Evaluation of the written tests :<\/p> in the first semester<\/strong>:<\/p>
