Methods of research osteological WB-BI-41-34cw

Skill Effects:
Objective effect 1 - the student is able to use the knowledge he has in the field of normal anatomy of the skeletal system, can make observations, can make an interpretation of the anomalies observed on the bone material, can use various sources for this purpose, correctly formulate conclusions from osteological tests

Effects in the field of social competences:
Subject effect 2 - the student is ready to make a critical analysis of his knowledge, understands that in working on osteological materials it is necessary to constantly update it, the student knows how to use appropriate research methods and where to look for new analytical opportunities
Subject effect 3 - the student is ready to determine the order of tasks and priorities resulting from the specificity of the analyzed research material, is ready to implement the research tasks assigned to him

Assessment criteria:
Final test, which will consist of single-choice test questions, preparation of an anatomo-anthropological analysis of the material under study (correctness of the anatomical description of the skeleton, completeness and correctness of the reconstruction of the osteobiography)
The final grade will be the arithmetic mean of the grades obtained from the test and the research project
Scoring tests and final project:
100-94% - 5
93-88% - 4.5
87-80 - 4
79-70% - 3.5
69-60% - 3
59 and less - 2

Skills:
For the grade 2 (ndst): the student does not know the basic issues of the anatomy of the skeletal system, is not able to use his knowledge, is not able to observe and interpret the changes observed on the bone material, does not formulate conclusions from osteological tests or they are incorrect
To grade 3 (dst): the student has a sufficient knowledge of the anatomy of the skeletal system, makes observations to a limited extent and is able to partially interpret them, is able to sufficiently summarize his observations, drawing conclusions from the conducted analyzes
To grade 4 (db): the student has a good understanding of the anatomy of the skeletal system, performs observations and analyzes to a limited extent, and is relatively good at interpreting them and drawing final conclusions from the analyzes performed
To grade 5 (very good): the student knows the anatomy of the skeletal system very well, efficiently makes observations and analyzes, interprets his observations in a clear and synthetic manner and draws comprehensive conclusions
Social competence:
To grade 2 (ndst): the student is not ready to critically assess his knowledge, does not understand the need to perform osteological analyzes, cannot use the discussed research methods, does not know where and how to look for information about them, cannot define tasks and their order in during anatomo-anthropological analysis, does not follow orders
For grade 3 (dst): the student is willing to make a critical assessment of his knowledge to a limited extent, understands the need to perform osteological analyzes, but his orientation in research methods is limited, he / she determines the order of tasks correctly partially, carries out orders although he needs a little more time
To grade 4 (db): the student is ready to make a critical assessment of his knowledge, understands the need to perform osteological analyzes, is well versed in research methods, correctly determines the sequence of tasks, carries out instructions
To grade 5 (very good): the student is ready to make a critical assessment of his knowledge in the field of osteology, understands the need to perform osteological analyzes, is very well versed in research methods, very efficiently determines the order of tasks, efficiently and fully correctly carries out orders
