Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 60% of the final mark.
Written Exam determines 40% of the final mark.

Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • klinische anatomie with a relative weight of 3 which comprises 30% of the final mark.
  • practicumgedeelte with a relative weight of 3 which comprises 30% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • basiskennis anatomie with a relative weight of 3 which comprises 30% of the final mark.

    Note: In tweede zittijd wordt dit deel met een beperkt schriftelijk examen geëvalueerd.
  • radio-anatomie with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 10% of the final mark.

    Note: In tweede zittijd wordt dit deel met een beperkt schriftelijk examen geëvalueerd.

Additional info regarding evaluation

This course is evaluated in four parts:
• Written exam on basic knowledge of anatomy (30% of the total mark) and a separate written exam on the radio anatomy part (10% of the total mark). In the second session these parts are evaluated with a limited written exam.
• Oral exam on the part clinically oriented anatomy (30% of the total grade, including assessment of the case-oriented work during the semester).
• Oral exam on the practical dissection part (30% of the total mark including assessment of the practical work during the semester).

  • The oral exam consists of two parts: upper limb and lower limb. The student must achieve at least 8/20 for each of these components in order to pass the course.

During the entire duration of the exam, backpacks, jackets, cell phones and other electronics (including smart watches) must either be placed in the front of the auditorium or left in the cloakroom. If a student is caught in possession of these objects during the exam, Article 118 of the OER is applied.

The final grade is determined as follows:
• A weighted average is made on the condition that the student obtains a credit for each of the four components, ie at least 50%.

  • If the student obtains a mark between 40 and 49% for at most one of the 4 components, the weighted average is deviated from. Then 1/20 is deducted from the weighted average.
  • If the student obtains a mark between 40 and 49% for more than one of the 4 components, the final mark for the entire course component is equal to that of the lowest result.
  • With a mark of 39% or lower on one or more components, the final mark for the entire course component is equal to that of the lowest result.

• If a student has failed the practical dissection work during the semester and / or the case-oriented work during the semester, this in itself will lead to an insufficient score for the final grade, according to the above rules. These parts cannot be retaken in the 2nd session.

  • Criteria:
  • case-oriented work:
    • Presentation and cooperation according to guidelines,
    • participation in group work
    • compulsory attendance
    • Negative global evaluation of case-oriented work: The group work (case presentation) during the semester is evaluated by the teaching team. This qualitative assessment is used to modulate the final mark of the oral exam (+3 to -3). However, if a student fails the group work during the semester, this in itself will lead to an insufficient score for the final mark, according to the above mentioned rules. This part cannot be retaken in the 2nd session.
  • Practical dissection:
    • The student can only participate in the practical lessons if he has passed the osteology test after a maximum of three attempts (the evaluation moments will be imposed by the educational team)
    • unlawfully absent is not permitted
    • More than two (legitimate) absences are not permitted, unless specifically motivated. The student is responsible for making up for missed practical lessons. He / she will contact the assistant within five calendar days after the missed practical.
    • negative global evaluation dissection: The practical work dissection during the semester is evaluated on the basis of a peer assessment by fellow students and tutors as well as by the teaching staff. This qualitative assessment is used to modulate the final grade of the practical exam (+3 to -3). However, if a student has failed the practical work dissection during the semester, this in itself will lead to an insufficient score for the final grade, according to the above mentioned rules. This part cannot be retaken in the 2nd session.

A resit in 2nd session is only possible if the two parts of the practical work during the semester (dissection and case-oriented) were evaluated as at least satisfactory.
Transfer of partial grades for the second session are possible on condition that 10/20 was achieved on that component. The partial grades can be transferred to the following academic year with the consent of the lecturer. If the student wants the transfer of the partial grade, the student must request this by e-mail from the lecturer before October 18th.

The supporting documents proving the absence will be sent to the faculty secretariat and a duplicate to the teaching team within five calendar days of the missed session.
