EVALUATION METHOD
The final result in every semester is based on the following ingredients:
• 3 partial tests: 10 points each,
• student’s attendance at classes: 10 points,
• student’s activity during the classes: 10 points,
• final test: 50 points
Maximal possible sum of points is 100.
The course is completed if both two conditions are satisfied:
1. the sum of points is at least 60 (60%) and
2. the number of points obtained on the final test is at least 30 (60%).
The final grade will be established based on the sum of all points according to the
following rules:
sum of points
92 – 100
