Student responsibilities

Attending 70% of courses

Screening student work (name the proportion of ECTS credits for eachactivity so that the total number of ECTS credits is equal to the ECTS value of the course):

Class attendance	2.0	Research	Practical training	0.0
Experimental work	0.0	Report
Essay	0.0	Seminar essay
Tests	1.0	Oral exam
Written exam	2.0	Project

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

Exam is written. Exam can be passed by partially by passing two colloquiums and gaining 50% (50 points of maximum 100). Minimum for passing exam is gaining 50% on colloquiums or regular exam. Requirement for attending second colloquium is gaining 25% (25 points) on first colloquium. Colloquiums can be repeated during first two exams.
Marks: 50%-61% - minimum (2), 62%-74% - good (3) ,75%-87% -very good (4), 88%-100% - excellant (5).
