Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
Continuous evaluation:
The entire test can be laid across two exams during the semester. Pass rate threshold is 60%. Each colloquium in assessing participates with 45%. The presence of lectures in 80 -100% amount is 10% of the grade.
Final evaluation:
Students who have passed one colloquium, it is recognized as part of the exam (45% score). The remaining part is laid in the regular examination periods.
Students who did not pass any colloquium, written exam in the regular examination periods laid the whole subject matter. Prague passing is 60% and a written examination form part of the assessment with the 90%.
Rating: sufficient (60-70%), good (71-80%), very good (81-90%), excellent (91-100%). |
