Physiology is the biggest subject of the second year, taught in both semesters. One by one, the topics go through the entire body, and explain the processes of how the body actually works. Physiology is where your knowledge from Biochemistry, Histology, and Anatomy comes together, which makes it really interesting and can result in many "Aha!" moments. 

It is definitely worth watching each lecture before the corresponding class and studying each topic before the next lecture is released in the following week. This is not only important for the class quizzes, which start each class, but also because the material can be extensive and difficult to understand.

Generally, the year is divided into four blocks, each ending with a credit. Each credit consists of 6 to 7 subtopics (and therefore lectures) that are somewhat intertwined. 

At the end of the school year, a final exam must be passed, covering everything you will have learned in both the lectures and the classes. 

Class entrance quiz

Some classes, which occur once a week, can start with a quiz covering the lecture related to the class. Six out of ten questions need to be answered correctly. Each quiz can be retaken once within two weeks.

If you fail more than 10 of these quizzes, you will not be allowed to sit the final exam and will have to repeat the Physiology course.

Exam

The exam consists of 60 multiple-choice questions where 33 questions must be answered correctly in order to pass. The exam covers all topics from the whole year and will often consist of questions that tie multiple topics together.

Credit is received after passing the exam.

When passing the exam on the first try, the grade is calculated by adding points gained from quarterly quizzes regarding to a scale, available on the department's website. 

If passing the exam on the second or third try, the grade is based on the exam score only, with a maximum of 60 points.

For the grading scale, consider the department's website.
