                                    The examination will consist of two components. There are
                                    50   questions, multiple choice A-E from the didactics and
                                    50 questions  multiple choice A-E on dermatology images 
                                    sent to your PC during   the   exam. The images will be of 
                                    topics discussed in lecture and  textbook but will not 
                                    necessarily be the same images viewed in lecture. 


                                   The distribution of scores will be examined after the final 
                                   examination  and quiz points are combined to determine 
                                   cut-off points for the grade:
                                   (H), High Pass (HP), Pass (P), and Fail (F).

 

                                    The Department of Dermatology also reserves the right to 
                                    lower a student’s grade for professional misconduct.  
                                    Students missing the  examination for any reason will 
                                    receive a grade of Fail.
