After absolving the subject the students will be able to

·           recognise the most important bacteria and fungi of veterinary and human relevance,

·           carry out laboratory examinations in order to identify them,

·           understand the role of bacteria and fungi in life, in pathology, physiology, nutrition and ecology,

·           implement disinfection and sterilisation methods,

·           understand the principles of antibacterial treatments,

·           understand the pathological consequences of genetic changes of bacteria.

·      Attending the practicals is compulsory, absence (maximum 3 occasions) – including justified ones – should be retaken. Retake can happen on the same week by joining another group or as an oral report by the practical teacher. Students can absolve the practical with another group if there are free seats available.

·      Attending the plenary lectures is compulsory.

·      Preparation to the practicals is controlled in the form of written or oral tests. Students without knowing the theoretical subject of the practical are regarded absent.

·      Students can sit to the examination after attending all practicals and showing at least satisfactory level of knowledge (60%) during the semester.

·           Students can sign to the exams through the NEPTUN system.

·           At the end of the semester students have to write an online test in a lecture room on the campus. The final written test run under UNIPOLL system.

·           Each of the students will receive 60 simple choice questions. 45 seconds will be available for each answer. There will be no possibility to go back to a former question.

·           Evaluation of the exam: excellent (90-100%), good (80-89%), satisfactory (70-79%), pass (60-69%), fail (<60%).

·           In the case of partial exemption, the document on it must be presented.

·         The cumulative  practical points will be included in the final mark, with a weight of 25%!
