Examination of the learning outcomes:
Attendance at lectures is mandatory.

Requirement of the admission to the exam: no more than 20% certified absence in the classroom teaching. (3 absences allowed)
In case of more than 3 absences, the student is not allowed to take the exam!

MTOs: 

Two MTOs will be written during the semester.
1. MTO: 2025. 10.20. 11:00 - 12:00 (The 1. MTO is mandatory! The absence from the 1. MTO counts as an absence from the lecture!)
Place: Orvosi Fizikai és Orvosi Informatikai Intézet, Korányi fasor 9.
Rooms: 12., 23., 24.

2. MTO: 2025. 12. 05. 15:00 - 16:00
Place: Orvosi Fizikai és Orvosi Informatikai Intézet, Korányi fasor 9.
Room: 23.

In case that the average result of the two MTOs reaches 80% the grade of the colloquium is offered at the end of the semester. If 80% is reached, it means the offered grade 4 (good), if the averaged result of the two MTOs reaches 90%, the offered grade is 5 (excellent).

Exam:

The first and second exam will be written. You need to reach 60% to pass the exam.

The grades are determined as follows:
0-59% failed (1)
60-69% pass (2)
70-79% satisfactory (3)
80-89% good (4)
90-100% excellent (5)

The second repeated - your third - exam and any further exams are oral.
The potential improvement of the examination will be oral (in case somebody wants a better grade than the offered, for example 5 instead of 4).

The unsatisfactory semester mark can be corrected during the examination period in accordance with the examination regulations.

The basics of the exam:
The material of the lectures.
