Briefing
A total of 3 weeks held in the summer semester. The first class begins with a test of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Consecutive classes include small tests on the topic of each class, and 2 Credits, one after the first week and the second at the end of the 3 week classes. The subject ends in a Final Exam, from which a grade is received.
Classes start at 8:00 in the morning and begin with a small 10 questions test about the todays topic. After the test there is a Seminar which lasts until around 9:30. In the first week we had another seminar after half an hour of break and were allowed to go at around 11:00. The 2nd and 3rd week of classes were instead followed by classes in the department. We could perform for example neurological examination and assesing GCS.

Assessment
Entrance Test
Class 1: a test of 20 questions, open or MCQ, on neuroanatomy and neurophysiology necessarry for the understanding of the contents of Neurology course. This test needs to be passed in order to be able to attend classes. Watching and understanding the first lecture in neurology is very helpfull and sometimes enough to pass the entrance test because it covers the most important facts.
Final Credits
The Final Credits are held at the very last classes of the Winter and Summer Semesters. They consist of 20 questions each.
The Winter Final Credit checks the knowledge of all 5 classes of the semester (including the knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology).
The Summer Final Credit checks the knowledge of all 10 classes of the semester.
Both Final Credits need to be passed (60%) in order to be admitted to the Final Exam.
Practical Exam
After passing the Final Credit of the Summer Semester the student is allowed to take the Practical Exam. It is held by the assistant assigned to the group and usually takes place on the same day as the Final Credit. The contents of the Practical Exam should be discussed by the group with their assistant beforehand. Take every opportunity to practice physical examination during class and always follow your assistant's advice and methods, as they will be the ones assessing your skills.

Lorem ipsumSmall tests
Every class begins with a small 10 question test, open or MCQ, that cover the topics of each class. The tests are written at the beginning of the class and are followed by a seminar on the same topic. The points from each small test are calculated by the department and taken into account after the student has passed the final exam.
Final Exam
The Final Exam consists of 60 MCQs and 4-5 clinical cases. Each clinical case consists of 2 open questions, therefore the student is able to receive a maximum of 70 points (if given 5 clinical cases).
The most recommended resources for studying for the Final Exam were:
Lectures and seminars provided by the department
Neurology and Neurosurgery Illustrated - Fourth Edition - Kenneth W. Lindsay, Ian Bone; Chuchill Livingstone - ask your fellow upperclassmen for a PDF file or try to buy it second-hand. Incredibly useful for both the small tests and the Finals (the lecturers base their materials and questions on the contents of this book).

Be on time, if you want to take the small tests! Some teachers may not allow you to take it, if you are late.
There will be a schedule with all the subtopics of each class, so that you exactly know, what you need to prepare.

In this sub-box, you can describe and elaborate sub points that don't really fit into the main box above, but relate closely to it. Have as many boxes of these as you need. For example, I used these boxes to explain: Pre-exams, Point summation practises, Exemption rules, or other special things that related to the info above.This is to be written in the "Small text" style, and indented twice for better discrimination (as shown).
