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 35%. Laboratory exercises participate in the evaluation of 20%. 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 (35% score). The remaining part is laid in the regular examination periods. Written examination in this case has a share of 70%, while laboratory exercises have a share of 20%.
Students who did not pass a single comprehensive exam midterm examination in the regular examination periods. Pass rate threshold is 60%. Laboratory work involved in assessing the share of 20%.
Rating: sufficient (60-70%), good (71-80%), very good (81-90%), excellent (91-100%). |
