10. Student Evaluation
Different subjects related to the course will be taught mainly by the Faculty of Medicine
(FM) and the Faculty of Science (FS). The faculties of Management and Engineering will also
contribute to a lesser extent. The course unit system will be followed.
Course units
A course unit may consist of one or more components such as lectures, practical sessions,
and clinical pharmacy sessions (hospital and community related to pharmacy practice).
Credit Values of Course unit
Each course unit has a defined credit value ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 which is always a multiple
of 0.5. Credit value is an indicator of the size and value of the unit. For example a course unit
of 1.0 credit consists approximately of 15 lecture hours or 30 practical hours. A course unit of
2.0 credits consists of approximately 30 lecture hours or 60 practical hours.
Method of Assessment
Candidate's performances at each course unit examination is assessed and graded by one or
more of theory, practical, assignments and oral examinations. When there are multiple
examinations for a course unit, marks obtained by the candidate is combined in a
predetermined manner to obtain a final grade.
37
Grades and Grade Points
Grades given at course unit examinations and Grade Points attributed to each grade are
given below.

13. Library Facilities
Main Library of University of Ruhuna is situated at Wellamadama premises. Presently, it
has four branch libraries which serve the faculty of Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture
and Paramedical degree programme situated at Karapitiya, Hapugala, Mapalana and
Mahamodara. The Library of Paramedical Degree programme is housed on the first floor
of the main building. It contains approximately 1000 books in the two sections of
reference and lending.
Library hours
Weekdays – 8.30a.m – 4.00p.m
Weekends – closed
Public holidays – closed
User Registration
61
Users who wish to use the library are required to register themselves at the library by
filling an application form available at the library office and handing it over to the library
authorities together with the student’s university identity card. After registration each
student will receive two loan tickets in two different colors.
Note that:
Tickets issued to students are not transferable.
Issuing/Returning of Library Books
Lending books may be borrowed and returned during the normal library hours. The
books borrowed must be returned on or before the date stamped on the date slip
attached to the flyleaf or the end of the book. Overnight reference books may be
borrowed two hours before the closing of library. They must be returned not later than
1.00p.m on the following library opening day.
An academic staff member can borrow 03(three) books at a time.
Note that:
All library resources on loan must be returned, and all outstanding fines paid, when a
student leaves the University. Users who fail to fulfill their obligations may have their
degree certificate withheld until they have returned the books and fines.
Fines for overdue lending books
A fine of Rs.5/= will be charged per day for a book returned after the due date. Only
library working days will be considered.
Fines for overdue overnight reference books
A fine of Rs.2/= will be charged for each hour for a book returned after due time. Only
the library working hours will be considered.
Damage and loss of library books
The users may not mark books or other material of the library. Borrowers will be held
responsible for the condition of books returned by them. They should, therefore,
examine them on issue and if any pages are missing or damaged they should point this
out to the counter staff. In the absence of such a report, the book issued will be
considered a perfect copy. If a book is damaged or lost, the borrower should replace it
or will be liable to pay twice the current value of the book, and 25% as departmental
charges and binding charges if the lost/ damaged book is already bound by the library.
Library discipline
a) Silence should be observed in all parts of the library
b) Smoking and consumption of the food or drink are forbidden in the library
c) No brief cases, cameras, flies, umbrellas, raincoats etc. should be brought into
the library.
62
d) Mobile phones should be switched off in the library.
e) Readers are particularly requested to conduct themselves with decorum and
consideration for others, and refrain from any action that could embarrass or
disturb other users of the library, eg: placing feet on the table and arm of the
chair etc.
f) Readers must always carry their identification cards or records and produce
them for inspection, if required. Library facilities may be refused to readers who
do not comply with this rule.
g) Students should not bring into the library any of their own textbooks.
h) The librarian will report to the Principal Coordinator if any users’ conduct in the
library is disorderly, and pending his decision, such a person will be excluded
from all further use of the library.
More information regarding the library may be obtained from User Guide.
