Actualities

On the absences in Histology and Embryology:

after the first 8 Embryology lectures (subject: Histology and Embryology 1) some of you missed already many classes. Please remember: if your absences are over 15%, (=9*45-minute hours of lectures or practices) you risk that you will not let to sit for the exam, regardless of paying the tuition fee!
The list of your names with details can be found here.

Anatomy-1, Histology and Embryology-1 Summer Course for 1st year students of PTE ÁOK:

For „Björknes students” there will be an extracurricular summer course in these two subjects, and you may have the chance that there will be places in limited number also for those, who do not complete these two subjects.

You may register at Klara Somodi, but if you sign up first, it will not mean that it is sure that you have a place in the course.
The course will start on the 12th of July.
Exam dates: Anatomy: Aug. 26-27, 08:00, retakes: Aug. 30, Sept. 2
Histology: Aug. 26-27, 08:00, retakes: Aug. 31 and Sept. 3.


Those of our students will have advantage to fill up the empty places,

1. who passed either anatomy-1 (AA1), or histology-1 (SF1)
2. who have passed more of their other exams in the semester
3. who have better results in the mid.semester tests
(... that is, those who have a greater chance to follow the suggested curriculum with completing this summer course!)
So, do not give up at the beginning of June, study for all your exams!

GROSS ANATOMY RECAPITULATION

Dissected bodies and preparations are available for recapitulation according to the table below. At the indicated times, both rooms will be open, but only preparations for the indicated years will be prepared. Only those students should come, who have the exam within two days. Otherwise, rooms are too crowded and noone can recapitulate.
Please keep the following rules:

1. Dissecting rooms No. 6 and 7 are available.
2. When none uses the body, please cover it because it dries out in a few days, and we can not use them any more.
3. All preparations are available in the dissecting room.
4. Please use forceps for everything, do not destroy structures with your hands.
5. White coats are obligatory, of course.
6. You can take in books and atlas for learning, but please do not leave them unattended. Bags, coats, food, drinks are not allowed, and do not leave them in the corridor either.
7. DO NOT DISTURB OTHERS AND PLEASE KEEP AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE, SINCE THERE WILL BE EXAMS IN THE OTHER ROOM AT THE SAME TIME.

Time-points of the histology recapitulation


HISTOLOGY RECAPITULATION

The slide session are arranged according to the material of the semesters. If there were more students than microscopes those have the privilege to see the slides whose exam is scheduled within two days.

Microscopes will be given out only in the first 10 minutes of the slide seeing periods (usually 8 - 8.10 a.m. and 12 - 12.10 p.m.). Those who are late will not get a microscope. Everybody is responsible for the microscope, and you have to sign a list at the beginning and at the end of the class. Please do not leave the microscopes unattended! We will ask for a deposit of 1000 Ft at the beginning of the slide session, that will be given back if no slides were broken.

Exact change required!! The deposits will be given back only to the person who deposited it, upon returning the microscope! The fee for breaking a slide is 2000 Ft (if repairable 1000Ft).

INDEX BOOKS
Dissection practices

The index books will be signed together with the note on the day of the anatomy exam. Please leave your grade book after the exam at the secretary's office until the next day.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Exam information

Information on the tests

The tests will be written on Friday afternoons in the Lecture rooms of the Central Building and those of the Clinical block #1 ("400 Bed Hospital", on the main Campus) and of the Gynecological Hospital (Édesanyák Str. 17. – walk on the Ifjuság Str. toward the City, turn left at "Sörgyár " building, and walk about 100-150 m uphill). The students' assignment lists - where will you write the test - will be posted on the board of the Anatomy Department and also on the doors of the lecture rooms. You are asked to be present on the spot at least 10 minutes before the given time. The timepoints of the tests, given above, are the time, when the actual test-writing starts. The "seating" of the students, prior to that, also needs some time. To save your time, the anatomy and histology-embryology tests will be written after each other without break. Thus those, who took just one of the two subjects in the given semester, must also be present during the entire test.

The test consist of automatically forwarding multimedia pages. The answer sheets you will get contain only the numbers of the questions. On a single projected page, there will be 2-5 questions. Most of them just numbered arrows pointing at an area of a figure, or there might be short questions. You are expected to answer most of the questions with only a single anatomical, histological or embryological term. In each of the subjects 25 questions will be asked in 15-20 minutes (in case of neuroanatomy 50 questions in 30-40 minutes). On the sheets, any correction will be accepted, that clearly indicates your intention. If the answer shows an (uncorrected) incorrect and a good answer simultaneously, your answer will be evaluated as incorrect.

For the test-writing, one must bring a ball point pen of blue or black color (or, just for sake, two of them, in case it empties). Sheets answered in pencil or in any other color will not be accepted! Please make sure you have your eyeglasses with you - if you need them.

The topics of the tests : The topics of the lectures and practices held since the previous test (even if the practice has been ended just 5 minutes before the test - the students are supposed to attend the practices prepared). Exception: the topic of a lecture, the material of which will be studied in the practices in the weeks following the test, will be included in the next test. Thus the topic of a presented lecture, that was discussed in a practice prior to the test, or is not planned to be discussed on practices at all (theory) - will be included in the test. The test might also include questions in topics of outstanding importance from the previous tests of the semester.

N.B.: The topics of the tests are precisely defined above. The lists below are provided just for reference!!!

Test topics of Anatomy-1 tests

1st test:The topics of the practices and the lectures of the 1-5 weeks; Bones and joints of the limbs, pelvis and shoulder girdle.
2nd test: Ventral regions of the upper and lower limb and the abdominal wall, -except palmar region. Bones and joints of vertebral column and thorax. Topics of lectures on weeks 6-9, except skull.
3rd test: Palmar region. Dorsal regions of the upper and lower limb. Nuchal region and muscles of the back. Skull. Topics of the lectures on weeks 10-13.

Test topics of Histology-1

1st test: Material covered in the practices in the first 5 weeks of the semester plus the related theory of lectures and textbooks, including general introduction to histology and preparation of slides.
2nd test: Material covered in the practices (6th-9th weeks) plus the related theory of lectures and textbooks.
3rd test: Material covered in the practices (10th-13th weeks) plus the related theory of lectures and textbooks. Material of the embryology lectures until the end of the 13th week.

The topics in the Neuroanatomy tests

Score offer

Beginning the semester starting on February 2006, the Anatomy Department offers an exam-ease in all the mandatory subjects tought by the Department for students, who showed outstanding achievements on the semester tests. The rules are as follows:

• All those students can use this offer, who reach an overall score "5" (at least 88 % good answer) in the semester tests in the topics of the exam. Thus the points of the test in the semesters (preceeding the exam) will be summed and compared to the possible maximum. The detailed rules are:
  
  
• ANATOMY AND NEUROANATOMY

  The students, selected this way, must sign up for the exam in the usual way. They must draw all the question cards (and slides), but from them, they must answer only the question(s) selected by the examinor. The rest of the questions will be accepted with sub-score "5" without answering them.
  

  On the anatomy exams and on the final exam the "cadaver browsing" is mandatory for everybody. Additionally, one selected question and - on the final exam - one microscopic slide are to be answered.

  In the extreme case, when the student can not answer the selected question (i.e. he/she "fails" that question) our offer becomes invalid, and to get the final score for the exam, the student must answer every drawn question under the usual conditions.
  
  

• HISTOLOGY

  For the students, who reach an overall score "5" in the semester tests, we offer the score 5 as the final mark of the Histology exam.
  
  The students, selected this way, must sign up for the exam in the usual way and must be present on the day of the exam. The mark will be registered in the student's book on the day of the exam.
  

  On the absences

  There are many rumors afloat on the acceptable quantity of the absences from the study sessions (lectures, practices and seminars). To clear them, here are the related rules:

  • It is mandatory for every students to actively participate on every study session. During their training, the students acquire many practical knowledge and skills that can not be collected anywhere else. Thus, you are not supposed to be absent from a study session without a very good reason (e.g. serious illness).
  • If the absence of a student exceeds a certain limit, the subject can not be accepted in that semester, the index will not be signed, the student will not allow to sit for an exam in that subject.
  • The limits:
    • If the absence does not reach 15 %-át of the total hours of the study sessions of a subject, the student can not be condemned for absence.
    • If the number of the missed hours reaches 15 % but does not reach 25 %, the acceptance of the semester is up to the course director. He/she will investigate the case, and if the absences found to be justified enough and in his/hers opinion the student can fulfill the requirements in spite of the missed practices, the course director might accept the semester. There is no appeal against the negative decision of the course director.
    • If the absences reach 25 % of the total hours, the semester can not be accepted by anyone with any reason.

  By the evaluation of the absences, all types of study sessions of the particular subject (lectures, practices and seminars) should be taken into consideration combined. In the practices and seminars, the practice leader is obliged to register the absences. If on the lectures the absences are not taken, we consider the student to be present.

  Examples:

• Histology and Embryology - 2 lectures and 2 practices weekly - a total of 56 hours in a semester. 15% = 8.4, 25 % = 14 hours. If the absences of the students is 8 hour (4 two-hour practices!), or less, the student must not be condemned. If the absences reach 14 hours (7 two-hour practices) the semester can not be accepted. In between, it is up to the course director.
  
• Anatomy - 1 lecture, 4 practices in a week = 70 hours/semester. The limits: 10.5 (10 hour absence =5 practices are still OK), and 17.5 (18 hours =9 practices being absent - are not accepted by any reason!)
  
• Neuroanatomy: 3 lectures, 6 practices a week = 126 total hours. 18.9 hours (9 practices), and 31.5 hours (16 practices) are over the limits, respectively.
