Assumptions and aims
of the course
Lecture – 40
Classes – 95
Upon completion of the course students will understand the general principles of drug actions
in the body (pharmacodynamics). They will also demonstrate an understanding of the
mechanisms of action and the effects and indications of the major therapeutic drug classes.
This will provide students with the required pharmacological background for the course of
pharmacotherapeutics, where drugs are discussed in the context of treating human pathology.

Criteria for assessing the achieved learning outcomes and the form and conditions for receiving credit:
1. The internal regulations of the Department of Pharmacology are in compliance with the Study Regulations of the
Medical University of Bialystok. All lectures and laboratory classes are obligatory.
2. Course of Pharmacology is conducted in the form of lectures and classes and 4 Module Tests (consisting of 20
multiple choice questions with only one correct answer per question). Test evaluated according to the scale:
failed  60%,
satisfactory – 60-69% of points,
fairly good – 70-79% of points,
good – 80-89% of points,
more than good 90-95%,
very good  96%
Students who fail to achieve a grade of 60% of the Module Test for the first time, they have the ability to retake (only
one time) (form of the retake exam: open questions) within a fixed time, but no later than 2 weeks after the Module
Test. The times of the Module Tests will be scheduled by the assistants and displayed on the notice board and
department website:http://www.umb.edu.pl/en/wl/zaklad-farmakologii.
Students who fail the retake Module Test will receive 2 negative points (-2)
3. In each class students will receive a credit by answering questions concerning the material that was required to
learn prior to class. The grade will be recorded as Pass/Fail.
4. Students who were absent on classes or lectures have to pass the class within 2 weeks. The form of assessment is 3
open questions prepared by assistant. Moreover, students are required to bring sick leave or Dean’s leave in the
next week and present it to the assistant before the class or lecture (scan, xero or picture sent to the Pharmacology
Department e-mail are also accepted).
5. Students who failed assessment of the class will receive 1 negative point (-1). Students who failed assessment of
lecture will receive 0.5 neagtive point (-0.5). Negative points will be charged for each failed class and lecture
6. If student will obtain  6 negative points during the academic year (lectures, classes, Module Tests), it will result in
the failure to the examination session.
7. The final written exam covers material of lectures, exercises and indicated for self-preparation. Students are
permitted to take the Final Exam if they have successfully completed semesters in the 3rd years. The Final
Examination will consist of a multiple choice test with only one correct answer per question. The exam is evaluated
according to the scale:
< 60% 60-69% 70-79% –
80-89% 90-95% –
> 96% -
failed (2)
satisfactory (3)
fairly good (3.5)
good (4)
more than good (4.5)
very good (5)
8. Students who obtained from 1 to 2 negative points are admitted conditionally to the Final Exam according to the
scale:
69 70-74% 75-80% –
81-89% 90-95% –
96% -
failed (2)
satisfactory (3)
fairly good (3.5)
good (4)
more than good (4.5)
very good (5)
9. Students who obtained from 3 to 5 negative points are admitted conditionally to the Final Exam according to the
scale:
 79% 80-84% 85-89% –
90-94% 95-99% –
100% -
failed (2)
satisfactory (3)
fairly good (3.5)
good (4)
more than good (4.5)
very good (5)
10. The retake of the Exam (both the first and second term of the retake) will consist of open questions (no test)
excluding the negative points according to the scale:
< 60% 60-69% 70-79% –
80-89% 90-95% –
> 96% -
failed (2)
satisfactory (3)
fairly good (3.5)
