Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
The last 30 minutes of lectures 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 will be used for review tests. To achieve a good score on the tests, students are expected to study in advance before each lecture. 
Requirements  
Grading Method Students will pass the course if they achieve an average score of 60 points or higher on the review tests conducted in each lecture. Absences will be recorded as a score of 0. Students whose average score is below 60 at the end of course will fail the course. However, they will be given an opportunity for a retest, scheduled separately. The retest will cover all 14 lectures. 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message Cell science is an introductory step to learn many lessons in the medical course.
