Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
The complete exam can be passed through two partial tests during semester.
Attendance on lectures, A1(successfulness =70 -100 %), share in grade, k1 =0,10
Laboratory exercises, A2(successfulness =50 -100 %), share in grade, k2 =0,20
1st test, A3 (successfulness =60 -100 %), share in grade, k3 =0,35
2nd test, A4 (successfulness =60 -100 %), share in grade, k4 =0,35
GRADE (%) = 0,10A1+0,20A2 + 0,35A3+ 0,35A4
FINAL EVALUATION
Students who did not take or pass partial tests have to attend to written and oral exam in the regular exam periods.
Activities A1 and A2 are evaluated in the same way as indicated above.
Written exam, A5 (successfulness =60 -100 %), share in grade, k5 =0,20
Oral exam, A6 (successfulness =60 -100 %), share in grade, k6 =0,40
GRADE (%) = 0,10A1+0,15A2 + 0,20A5 + 0,40A6
FINAL GRADE: successful (50% – 61 %), good (62% – 74 %), very good (75% – 87 %), excellent (88% – 100 %).
In the case that student passed only one test during continuous evaluation, he/she have to attend to written and oral exam in the regular exam periods. The passed test will be recognized by the end of the academic year as a part of the written exam. |
