Examination
rules for students of General Medicine Rules
for performance of examination at the Institute of Biology and Medical Genetics
in the subject Biology and Genetics 2 (B83121) - academic year 2025/2026 Specifying
the examination dates The final
examination is required to complete the subject Biology and Genetics 2 (B83121)
in the winter semester. The
examination dates are set during the regular examination period of the winter
semester. All dates are entered in the SIS, together with the information
specifying the start of registration and the deadlines for (de)registraion. The
following list of examination dates and times (also called “terms”) is final. · Pre-term
will take place on January 20th and 22nd, 2026, at
13:00. · Terms in
the regular examination period of the winter semester (from January 26th to
February 19th, 2026). · During
the second half of March, further terms will be announced for the regular
examination period of the summer semester, for the summer holiday time (second
half of August), and for the second part of the regular examination period
(beginning of September). No further terms apart from those mentioned above
will be announced. Rules
for registration for exams and cancellation The start
dates and times of registration for examination dates are entered in SIS. For
the pre-term and regular terms, registration is possible starting November 27th,
2025 (18:00). Registration
for particular examination dates (“terms”) will be possible up to 1 day prior
to the date of the exam. Cancellation
of the registration for the preterm will be possible till January 18th and
20th, 2025 (22:00), respectively. Cancellation of the registration
for the regular terms will be possible up to 1 day prior to the date of the
exam (e.g. the registration for exam on Thursday Jan 29th may
be cancelled till Tuesday Jan 27th, 22:00) Registration
for an exam is not conditional upon obtaining the credit but taking the exam
is, apart from the credit in the given subject, also limited by completion of
any subject that is specified as a (pre)requisite. A student who fails to meet
the given requisites will be deleted from the list for the term before
examination, of which he/she will be informed by e-mail. This deletion will not
reduce the number of terms further available for the student. A student can
only take the exam if registered for the term in SIS, and when all requisites
for the exam have been met. Requirements
for obtaining credit: 1.
Successful completion (passing) of all three tests. 2. Presence
at the practical training sessions. Failure to
turn up for examination and apology The
student who fails to turn up for the examination that he/she has registered for
without prior apology, forfeits the examination term without receiving a mark. After
forfeiting an examination term, the student can register for another
examination date. A belated apology can be accepted only in case of serious and
documented circumstances. The guarantor of the subject decides on the
appropriateness of the apology (see Rules of Study at the First Faculty of
Medicine of Charles University). The student must apologise to the
principal teacher of the subject (or to the person authorized by the latter) in
writing or in electronic mail, giving and substantiating the reasons for the
apology. The guarantor of the subject can request specification of the apology
or its reasons if he/she finds the apology insufficient. Re-examinations. A student
can take an examination in a subject for three times as a maximum, i.e. the
student is entitled to two re-examinations, and no extraordinary terms beyond
that are allowed (Regulations, Article 6, Subsection 16). However, if the
student does not exploit the above options within the set examination dates,
this does not entitle him/her to a special date of examination to be appointed
for him/her personally (ibid.). No more examination dates (“terms”) will be
set. Further, no examinations can be taken after the end of the second part of
the regular examination period in September, or after the last announced term. Rules
pertaining to the course of examination. The final
examination from Biology and Genetics 2 will be an in-person, two-step exam,
comprising a written exam test followed by the oral exam. Failure to meet the
minimal criteria for the exam test entitles the examiner to end the exam and to
grade the attempt as “fail”. The students who successfully pass the written
exam test then draw a triplet of exam questions. After 15-20 minutes of
preparation, the students take the oral exam. Failure to answer one of the
three questions in a satisfactory manner entitles the examiner to end the exam
and to grade the attempt as “fail” (see Code of study and examination, Part 2,
Article 8 - https://cuni.cz/UKEN-726.html). If a
student passes the practical exam and subsequently fails the oral exam, he/she
will only sit for the oral exam in the following re-takes. Exam questions and
recommended study materials are published using SIS and the web page of the
Institute. November 28th,
