To just pass the
exam, the answer is "yes". However, to get higher marks and
grades, you are advised to consult other textbooks and references.
Which references
should I use to study Microbiology and Immunology?
Attending lectures is obligatory to
understand the subject. Other recommended references are mentioned in the "Links
and Books" page.
Which topics are more
important for the exams?
All topics
(Immunology, Bacteriology, Virology and Mycology) are equally important. You are
expected to answer any questions in any of the topics mentioned.
Why don't we start
taking practical classes from the beginning of the course?
Because you need to
have some previous knowledge of the basics of Microbiology & Immunology.
Why are we taking our
practical classes in the evening?
Because there are
too many students to fit in the morning class. But if you take your Microbiology
class in the evening, your Pathology or Pharmacology class will be in the morning, and vice
versa.
Will all practical
lessons taken be covered in the practical exam?
Yes they will be
covered in the practical exam, so attendance is compulsory.
Will you display
more MCQs on the DMI web site?
Yes, we will add new MCQs
regularly, so visit our site frequently to catch up with the additions.
Why don't you show us
the answers to these MCQ samples?
We did not show the
answers, because we don't want lazy students (if there any) to just memorize the
answers without looking them up. We suggest you open your books for each MCQ
that you don't know the answer to, and find it. That way, you will learn more.
Do you take our suggestions,
comments and requests into consideration?
We do take every single suggestion
into consideration (no matter how impossible or sometimes silly they are!!!),
you just have to visit this FAQs page and you will find most of your
comments answered.
Is there a mid term exam
for Microbiology?
There will be no
Midterm exam (at least, to our best knowledge). You may wish to go to the deans
office and ask there!!
Are there any marks for
attending practical classes?
Yes, there will be
10 marks for attending and completing the lab book questions. The lab book will
be collected at the end of the year before the final lab exam.
Can I change my final
oral exam committee?
No, you can not
change your committee. If you don't show up at your designated exam committee,
you might be considered absent from the
exam. Each committee has a certain number of students allocated to them, and naturally, at the end of
the oral exam the examiners will give a "Zero" mark to absent students.
Will there be Short Notes
or Essay questions in the final exam or just MCQs?
The written exam will consist of MCQs, True &
False, and Matching. There will be no Short Notes or Essays. We
strongly recommend that you see the "Exam
Samples" page of this website, to have an idea about how the exam will
look like.
