Medical Devices, Systems and Components
Description: The discipline studies basic concepts in the field of medical technology, describes and classifies devices for studying bioelectric activity (for example, electrocardiographs), measuring non-electrical characteristics (ultrasound systems), biological introscopy (microscopes), physiotherapy, diagnostics, therapy, surgery and intensive care. Students identify, describe, and compare medical devices, extract key characteristics, and apply knowledge in practice.

Teaching methods
Interactive learning and multimedia technologies Multimedia presentations and videos: The use of video lectures, animations, and simulations to explain complex technical processes, such as the operation of medical devices or biosignals. Virtual laboratories: create simulations of working with medical devices, which allows students to experiment with devices and systems without the need for real equipment.
Assessment of the student's knowledge
Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form
The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:
- 40% of the examination result;
- 60% of current control result.
The final grade is calculated by the formula:
FG = 0,6 | MT1+MT2 | +0,4E |
2 |
Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;
E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:
The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
Alphabetical grade | Numerical value | Points (%) | Traditional grade |
---|---|---|---|
A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
A- | 3.67 | 90-94 | |
B+ | 3.33 | 85-89 | Good |
B | 3.0 | 80-84 | |
B- | 2.67 | 75-79 | |
C+ | 2.33 | 70-74 | |
C | 2.0 | 65-69 | Satisfactory |
C- | 1.67 | 60-64 | |
D+ | 1.33 | 55-59 | |
D | 1.0 | 50-54 | |
