Knowledge evaluation is being carried out according to the modular-rating system. The content module 1 includes 1 - 2, and the content module 2 includes topics 3 – 4. It is a mandatory requirement to pass successfully an exam is the development of problematic cases (summery) and a positive mark for each of the two modular control work. In case of a negative mark obtained for control module, a student is obliged to pass again a failed modular control work according to the procedure established. Under repeatable passing a modular control work or granted access to a modular control work based of permission from the deanery, a maximal value of a control modular rating mark is being lowered by one in comparison with above-mentioned.
