Course history

Introduction

To part 1) Assessment of practical training:

The following must have been approved before the practical training starts:

  • an individual practical test in skeletal and chest examinations in accordance with set criteria. The student has two attempts at this test before the practical training starts.
  • a minimum attendance of 80 % at scheduled seminars and skills training sessions

Recommended preliminary courses

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

Required preliminary courses

Combined assessment.

Part 1) Assessment of practical training: The assessment is based on the learning outcomes and the continuous assessment that the student is subject to throughout the practical training period. The student’s practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about practical training assessment.

Part 1 must be passed before the student can sit for the exam in part 2.

Part 2) Supervised individual written exam, (combination of multiple choice and free text assignments,) 3 hours

The student must pass all parts in order to pass the course.

Resit assessment/exam: If a student fails the written exam, the practical training is not repeated. If the student fails part 1 (practical training period), they must normally retake the whole practical training period.

Students can appeal the grade awarded for part 2, written exam.

Learning outcomes

Part 1) Not relevant

Part 2) No aids permitted

Teaching and learning methods

Part 1) Pass/Fail

Part 2) Grade scale A-F

Course requirements

Part 1) The midway and final assessments are made by the practical training supervisor in cooperation with the contact lecturer. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.

Part 2) All answers are assessed by two internal examiners.

The assessment scheme is evaluated regularly. An external programme supervisor participates in the evaluation and provides advice on further quality work in the study programme.

Assessment

10 ECTS overlap with RAD1300 and 10 ECTS overlap with RABPRA1.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grading scale

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.

Examiners

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Overlapping courses

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
