Major activities performed by the students include classroom performance, individual/group projects, module tests, and an end-of-course assignment. A student can score a maximum of 100 points and a minimum of 60 points for these activities that are components of formative assessment. A detailed description of formative assessment is presented in the course description made public on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system, a pass/fail assessment score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points) and does not involve any additional assessment events. The end-of-course assessment score is the sum of points earned for the classroom performance (45 points), module tests (20 points), project (20 points), and end-of-course assignment (150 points). 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.
