Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
During the semester, the final exam can be substituted by midterm tests and seminar essays (independent computational tasks).
In the final exam perods the final exam shall be taken after the presentation of seminar essays.
Grades: 55-64% - sufficient; 65-79% - good, 80-89% - very good; 90-100% - excellent. |
