            Assessment methods and criteria
        
        
            A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system. The total score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points). Formative assessment involves progress test papers (40 points) and end-of-end module test papers (60 points). A ‘Pass/fail’ assessment is based on the outcomes of the course performance during the term and does not involve any additional assessment events. To succeed in the pass/fail assessment, students are required to gain a passing grade of 60; students fail if the score is below 60.  A detailed description of the assessment criteria of the coursework is presented in the course curriculum made public on the website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
