EVALUATION IN BLOCK 18 ANAESTHESIOLOGY GNK 586
Class Block test
Block mark-a
> 60% <60%
First Block examb Promotion Optional
Block marka (½)+ First block exam mark-b (½) = Final block mark
Block mark-a confirmed as first block exam mark-b and recorded as final block mark-c
>50% <50%
Second Block examd
>50% <50%
Pass Fail
Morning rotation
*Students who exercise the option to write the First Block exam despite having met the requirements for promotion, will have their Final Block Mark-c calculated as follows: Block mark-a (½) + First Block exam mark-b (½)

Requirements for promotion: (thus exemption from 1st block exam): 1. Block mark of 60 % or more 2. Case studies must be satisfactory; forms part of later portfolio assessment ILLNESS DURING EVALUATION: If a student is absent during evaluation due to valid reasons (as determined by the Faculty), the following applies: Class test → Oral test Block test → 1st Block exam (cannot promote) 1st Block exam → 2nd Block exam PS: THE 2nd Block exam is the FINAL EXAM EVALUATION AND DATES OF TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS: ANAESTHESIOLOGY GNK 586 Opportunity Date Format Contribution to block mark Morning rotation Already

* See roster for division of groups Please note: Marks earned during morning rotations during semester 1 form part of the block mark in Anaesthesiology. Requirements for promotion: (thus exemption from 1st block exam): 1. Block mark of 60 % or more
ánd 2. Proof of satisfactory attendance (100%) and participation in Anaesthesiology workshops ánd 3. Anaesthesiology resident mark at the end of the practical resident period (morning rotations) is 50%
or more
NO ADDITIONAL TEST IS SCHEDULED! If a student is not able to write the class test or the block test due to valid reasons (as determined by the Faculty), the student can NOT promote, and the block exam will count proportionally (value calculated according to specific test missed) more in calculating the final block mark. In other words, the block mark will count proportionally less in calculating the final block mark. If a student does not write the first block exam, the second block exam will be regarded as the first block exam (final block mark is calculated from it). The second block exam is the final exam.

(i) Discuss the problems in a well-thought-through manner, after presentation by the lecturer and discussion thereof in an interactive way. A call to participation can be made to any student at any time.
(ii) research the problem beforehand (library, etc.) and to adequately prepare the relevant material in order to participate meaningfully during discussions.
SEMINARS: The manner of management of Seminars:
1) The class will be divided into 4 groups, limiting the amount of students attending a specific seminar, in order to ensure the personal participation of each student and aiming towards closer contact between facilitator and student.
2) Practical skills and knowledge will be improved during seminars and demonstrations will be conducted on a personal level.
3) The student will be exposed to the practical side of Anaesthesiology during the seminars, as well as during the stay within the Anaesthesiology department during the fifth year, with emphasis on the practice of Anaesthesiology.
