Examination Unec

e-mail: sohrab.isayev@unec.edu.az 1591 1 UNEC Examination Center was established on 19.10.2020 in order to ensure the implementation of the decision No. 173 of the online meeting of the UNEC Scientific Council dated September 14, 2020.

In physiology teaching in the preclinical program, knowledge is usually what is assessed [6], but it is mandatory that a student scores 50% in order to proceed to the clinical session. Students are assessed on essay questions, short answer questions, multiple choice questions (MCQ), practical questions and viva or oral examination. The questions are formulated to test the student knowledge and prepare them for clinical sessions.

There is an intensive preclinical program of basic medical sciences lasting 18 months prior to a final physiology examination. Students were assessed via long essays, short answer questions, multiple choice questions (MCQ), practicals and oral examinations. The students were given 6 questions (five essay and one short answer question) to attempt 5 questions and had 30 minutes to answer each question. The MCQ consisted of 100 questions with a 2 hour time limit. The MCQ paper was divided into two sections. The main section consisted of questions with one correct answer out of five options. The other section included questions with one or more correct answers out of the five options. The continous assessments contributed 30% of the total 2nd MBBS examination, while the final examination at the end of 18months training contributed 70% of the total 2nd MBBS examinations.

The factors that may have contributed to an increase of pass rate in physiology examination are peer-assisted learning, more student-centered learning techniques, collaborative team work, active participation of both teachers and students, and a decrease in total number of students admitted from 2008-2010.

Physiology education worldwide is currently undergoing innovative evidence based changes to teaching and learning environments. These changes favour student-centered learning [8]. These changes are rudimentary in most medical schools in Nigeria. Student assessments are largely by examinations with its limitations since the examinations are set and graded by the same teachers [1]. External examiners play limited role in assessing the students as they only participate in the final assessment of 2nd MBBS examinations.

In the past, the department of physiology had limited funds and administrative barriers with limited number of tutors. However, in 2008, we added seven additional academic staff members with MBBS and additional clinical qualifications. This appears to have resulted in a higher pass rate in our physiology examinations. With this introduction of clinicians as academic staff in 2008, the pass rate increased from roughly 60% to 70% and above. The obvious reasons for this increase in pass rate is still not very clear because there was no change in the content of the physiology course, no change in the presentation of material, the scientific rigor has not changed, the student assessment has not changed, the examination pattern and student assessment have not changed and there were no changes in the educational infrastructure. However, what have changed were introduction of peer-assisted learning, more student-centered learning techniques [9, 10], and a decrease in total number of students admitted from 2008-2010 and an increase in the number of faculty from 2008.

Thus, it may be of help for students in their clinical sessions to have tutors with primary degrees in medicine and surgery to teach physiology in order to lay more emphasis on applied physiology in the preclinical studies. These clinicians are usually well versed in physiology because as medical students they were taught physiology of all the human systems. This assertion was supported in this study by the significant increase in medical students pass rate in 2nd MBBS physiology examination following the employment of clinicians to teach physiology.

Students are advised that, in accordance with exam policies of U of C, all candidates for final examinations are required to have proof of identification in the way of a U of C student I.D. card (Unicard).

12.0 Examination Rules and Eligibility

Subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by or under the provisions or regulations of the University of Nigeria, Senate shall exercise the following powers and perform functions such as arrange for the holding of examinations, appoint examiners for such examinations, lay down conditions for conduct of examination; publish the results thereof; recommend to Council candidates for diploma, degree, and other academic distinctions; ensure maintenance of proper standard of examination and security of the papers and scripts and advise the Council on appropriate examination fees. However, the rules guide the student eligibility for examination.

Physical examination on admission revealed a fully conscious but ill-looking teenager with a temperature of 38.2C. Central nervous system examination revealed only signs of meningeal irritation and uvula deviation to the right. Other aspects of physical examination were normal.

Each year is divided into two semesters of about 15 weeks each. At the end of a semester, the students take examinations in the courses they registered. A student shall not qualify to participate in the examinations if he fails to attend at least 75% of the lectures delivered in a course.

To be admitted to the Law Faculty, a candidate must have credit level passes in at least five subjects at either the West African School Certificate (WASC) examination or the General Certificate of Education (GCE) examination at ordinary level, or the Senior Secondary School Certificate (SSSC) examination, (or the equivalent) obtained in not more than two sittings. These subjects must include English Language, English Literature, Mathematics or a Science subject, taken from Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Agricultural Science.

The system of continuous assessment of the student is adopted. This is carried out through seminar presentations, take-home and on-the-spot tests and examinations during the two semesters. For the final degree examinations, an external examiner is always engaged to assess the students work before final computation of the results. 2351a5e196
