Course Requirements and Assessment
1) Active Participation
Active participation affects the final grade and includes:
100% attendance at all classes during the winter semester
Cooperation with the instructor
Regular preparation of homework assignments
Each student is allowed two absences without the need to provide official documentation (e.g., medical or other certificates).
A student who has more than two absences and does not submit official documentation justifying the reason for absence will not be allowed to register for the early exam date (see Notes) or may receive a grade of FX, meaning they will fail the course Medical Terminology.
2) Homework Assignments
Homework is mandatory. Students are expected to prepare homework assignments for each practical class, as they form an important part of the final examination.
3) Two Mid-Semester Tests
There will be two short mid-semester tests focusing on the translation of medical terms.
Each test is worth a maximum of 20 points (total 40 points for both tests).
Points earned from these tests are added to the final exam score.
4) Final Examination
The final exam is written and is worth a maximum of 110 points.
The total maximum score for the course (two mid-semester tests + final exam) is 150 points.
To successfully pass the course, a minimum of 90 points (60%) is required.
Grading scale (total score for all components):
A = 150 – 139 points
B = 138 – 127 points
C = 126 – 114 points
D = 113 – 102 points
E = 101 – 90 points
FX = 89 – 0 points (fail)
English language
PRE-TERM FINAL EXAM. Only those students who meet the requirements — a maximum of two absences and a minimum of 25 points from the two tests during the semester.

The aim of the course Medical Terminology is to familiarize students with the basics of Greek and Latin terminology, which are essential for their further studies in medicine. Upon completing the course, the student will be able to classify Latin nouns and adjectives into the appropriate declensions. Based on the acquired grammatical rules, the student will translate medical terms from Latin into English and vice versa. The student will also be able to identify the individual components of words and, based on this knowledge, correctly deduce the meaning of medical terms in both Latin and English.
