In the semesters 5 & 7 students have the interim control. The overall mark is based on the points a student has got during classes. To get the mark “Passed” the maximum score for the semester must be 30 and the minimum score must be 18. In the semesters 6 & 8 students take an exam. The semester score is based upon students’ class works, scores for interim control in the semesters 5 & 7, and score for the exam. The maximum distribution of points is the following: semester control is 30 points (30 %), interim control is 30 points (30 %), and exam is 40 points (40 %). Students who have got less than 18 points are not allowed to take the exam. If, during the exam, a student has got less than 24 points the mark “Unsatisfactory” is put in his examination sheet. For different types of work during the semesters students can get from 0,3 up to 10 points.
