Text A. Our Classes

Every day we have practical classes in numerous theoretical and special subjects. We perform different laboratory works and attend lectures in Biology, Anatomy and others. It is useful to us to listen to the lectures because the professors always deliver them clearly and scientifically.

We know that we shall need deep knowledge of anatomy in our future work. Only hard work in the dissecting-room will give us the possibility to gain this knowledge. That is why there are always many students in the dissecting-room.

There are two terms in the first year. Each of them lasts for about 16-19 weeks. At the end of the winter term we shall take examinations in Physics and Chemistry. We shall have several credit tests, too. The winter holidays last from the end of January till the middle of February. At the end of the spring term we shall take examinations in the History and others.

It is necessary for us to work hard during the whole academic year if we want to pass our first examination session successfully, for “A good beginning makes a good ending”.
