Human Anatomy

General Description

Brief History

Uludag University Faculty of Medicine, chair of Anatomy – Histology and Embriology was founded by Prof.Dr. K. Turgut Vardar in 1975. In 1977, chair of Anatomy – Histology and Embriology was divided in to two departments as Anatomy and Histology-Embryology. Then these two chairs joined as the chair of Morphology in 1982 and separeted again in 1993. Currently, the department of Anatomy continues to education under the Faculty of Medicine. Since the establishment of the department, graduate education has been continuing under the name of Medicine-Anatomy Master Program.

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Exams of the courses; It can be done in written, written-oral or applied form. Exam documents and results are sent to the relevant institute within five working days via the department head. The principles regarding the determination of course success are as follows: a) In order to take the exam from the courses taken in graduate programs; 70% attendance is required for theoretical courses and 80% for applied courses. Exams are evaluated with points given out of 100. In order to be successful, it is necessary to get at least 70 points out of 100 in master´s programs with thesis. The letter grade and coefficient equivalents of the scores out of 100 are as follows: Letter Grade Coefficient Score AA 4.00 90-100 BA 3.50 85-89 BB 3.00 80-84 CB 2.50 75-79 CC 2.00 70-74 F 0-69 b) Within the framework of the above principles In evaluating the scores out of 100 with letter grades; A student who gets AA, BA, BB, CB and CC grades in master´s programs is considered successful in that course. c) In addition to the letter grades above, the following letters can also be used: 1) Note D (Absent); It is given to students who do not fulfill the conditions and requirements of course attendance and / or course practices. The grade average of D is transferred to the calculation of the FF grade. 2) Grade G (Pass); It is given to students who successfully complete non-credit courses and thesis studies. 3) Grade K (Remaining); It is given to students who fail in their thesis with non-credit courses. d) Students who fail the exams of compulsory and elective courses, fail in absenteeism or fulfill the prerequisites of the relevant course, take the relevant course / courses in the first semester they are opened. In case of failure in the elective course, the student can choose a new course instead. d) The exam results, exam documents and protocol of the courses in the graduate programs are sent to the relevant institute through the heads of the department within five working days following the completion of the exams. e) The adjustment of the grades of the courses taken by students who benefit from national or international exchange programs such as Erasmus and Farabi is made with the decision of the head of the department and the decision of the board of directors of the institute. These grades are recorded on the student´s transcript. Course success average (1) The success of the student is determined by the semester academic grade average (YANO) and general academic grade average (GANO) calculated on the coefficients given in the table in article 21 of this Regulation at the end of each semester. YANO is the weighted grade point average of the semester the student is enrolled. GANO is the weighted grade average calculated at the end of the semester by considering all the courses in the curriculum of the department in which the student is enrolled, starting from the beginning of the graduate program. (2) Calculated with YANO and GANO weighted grade averages. The weighted grade point average is calculated by dividing the total credits obtained by multiplying the credits of the courses taken and the equivalent weight coefficients of the letter grades from the courses by the total credits. The weighted grade average is calculated as two digits after the comma. (3) Both YANO and GANO are determined by the participation of the grades (AA) to (FF) taken by the student in the credit courses. (4) All grades received by the student are recorded in the grade book.

Graduation Requirements

Master with thesis program is formed by seven courses providing that they are not less than 21credits and more than 28credits, one seminar at course and dissertation stage, thesis study and thesis exam. Despite not needing scientific preparation program, the student can take up graduation level courses if the supervisor thinks it is needed, and these courses’ credits will not be counted.
