Assessment methods and criteria
Student evaluation forms: - semester assessment: 1. Checking homework during the first content module - 10 points/ 6 points 2. Modular control work 1 – 20 points/ 12 points 3. Checking homework during the second content module - 10 points/ 6 points 4. Modular control work 2 – 20 points/ 12 points Module 1: assessment for the completion of homework and for the modular control work on the topic "Nuclear magnetic resonance as the physical basis of MRI" - 30 points (cut-off mark 18 points). Module 2: assessment for the completion of homework and for the modular control work on the topic "Methods of conducting research using magnetic resonance imaging" - 30 points (limit assessment 18 points). - final evaluation in the form of an exam. The maximum score is 40 points (cut-off score is 24 points). The final number of points in the discipline (maximum 100 points), which is determined as the sum of points for systematic work during the semester and the results of the exam
