Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
Continuous evaluation:
The entire test can be applied over two exams during the semester. Passing 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 the preliminary one, it is recognized as part of the exam and a 35 % score. The remaining part is laid in the regular examination period.
Students who have not passed any preliminary examination, written examination in the regular examination period laid the whole subject matter. Passing threshold is 60 %, and a written examination form to participate in the evaluation by 80 %. Laboratory work involved in assessing the proportion of 20 %. Rating: sufficient (60-70 %), good (71-80 %), very good (81-90 %), excellent (91-100 %). |
