Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

The entire test can be applied over two written exams during the semester. Passing threshold is 60%. Each exam involved in the assessment with 50%. The examination periods shall be taken oral exam. Passing threshold is 60%. Rating: 60 - 69% - sufficient (2), 70 - 79% - good (3), 80-89% very good (4), 90 - 100% - excellent (5).
