Dear future colleagues,

The following is a description of the undergraduate course Virology 312 midterm exam’s format and scope. This is applicable to the general program and the distinct programs.

Please, be advised that the first Midterm exam for the general program will be administered next Saturday the 11th of November 2023. The exam will start at 10:30 AM after Professor Shalaby’s lecture.

As for the first Midterm exam for the distinct program in equine medicine and surgery, the exam will be administered on Thursday the 16th of November 2023 at 10 AM.

You will be given 20 minutes to answer 18 true or false questions and 12 MCQs. This exam covers the theoretical parts up until virus mutation and evolution (i.e., all the lectures before viral oncogenesis) and the practical topics until the end of isolation of viruses in embryonated chicken eggs.

There will be 5 (five) different exam versions. The versions are designed so that each is almost the same difficulty level as the others. The exam is simple and straightforward. You will be awarded 15 points for completing all questions correctly (each question is worth 0.5 points).

Best of luck.

Ausama
