Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Teaching methods include individual study and practical laboratoies. Course is taking advantage of e-learning. Students have to write a single project and example.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Up to 20 points for lab - student gets points for one protocol and participation in the excursion,
up to 20 points for the development of a thematic project,
up to 60 points for the oral exam.
To pass the examination must be obtained from oral at least 10 points.
The test focuses on the verification of basic knowledge of the principles of ultrasound, vkv and radiotherapeutic systems, laser applications, extracorporeal circulation, ventilation systems, prostheses, defibrillators and biochemical automatic system.
