Important notes:

• Consequenses of failed course!! Student can’t register for the following course: Microbiology
• Justification of absence: Student is obliged to provide a scanned medical certificate for the teacher in email as soon as possible she/he’s recovered from the disease. No retrospective medical certificate is accepted at the end of the semester!
