title: [The effectiveness of studies at the Department of Stomatology of the Pomeranian Medical Academy].
abstract: The suitability for studying is defined by the percentages of students finishing the study in relation to those who commenced it. Since the number of students changes during the study in respective years, the true picture of efficiency cannot be made out on the basis of graduation index without taking into account the on-time graduation. The authors carried out analysis of 6 cycles of studies accomplished by students of stomatology at the Pomeranian Medical Academy over the period of 10 years. Percentage was calculated for punctual and non-punctual finishing of studies as well as the percentage of students who joined or left the respective cycle. As a result of the investigations it was found out that during the analyzed 6 cycles of studies the highest efficiency index--54.9% (the punctuality being taken into consideration) was achieved in cycle V in the years 1980/1985; the lowest--17.9% in cycle III in the years 1978-1983. In cycle VI of studies the efficiency of studying was hardly 20.3% with the highest index for graduation being 69.7%. The greatest changes in the number of students are observed during the II year of studies.
