2) Paediatric rehabilitation- M. Degelaen - 13 WPO - Points work book + presentations (25%)

3) Paediatric Surgery- A. Laumen -13 HOC - written exam (25%)

Each part is quoted on 20 points, the final score is obtained by adding together the 4 odds on 20 and the final score consists of making the average on 20, so that each part for 1/4 counts for the final grade of the module Paediatrics.

A score of 7/20 or less for one of the theoretical parts does not mean successful for all parts, and means a final grade of 7 so that all theoretical components must be repeated in the 2nd session.

To be successful for the work book, a score of 12/20 need to be achieved.

In the 2nd session the exam will be orally expired (by appointment)

If one does not pass on the practical part (work book) in the first exam period - this is a score of less than 12/20, he/she will be additional questioned in the second period regarding work book (oral).

The final mark is obtained in the 2nd session by adding the 3 scores from the 2nd session on 20, again by counting all the scores and making the average on 20 for the final score. A score of 7/20 or less for one of the theoretical parts does not mean successful for all parts, and means a final mark of 7 for the 2nd session.
