Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Tutorials, lectures, exercises, written exams (home exam)

Assessment Criteria

Excellent
Students master knowledge learnt earlier of the various parts of the nervous system and they are able to describe functions of these parts in detail. They are familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism, and they know how to apply the material learnt to professional practice.

Good
They recognize the various parts of the nervous system and they are able to describe the main functions of these parts. They are familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism.

Satisfactory
Students partly recognize the various parts of the nervous system and they are to some extent able to describe the main functions of these parts. They are to a limited extent familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism.

Assessment Methods

Written exam (home exam)
