Lectures, seminars, self-study

Examination evaluation takes place in written form. The ticket consists of 2 questions, each of which is evaluated on a scale of 20 points, which gives a total of 40 points for the exam. A student is not admitted to the exam if he scored less than 20 points during the semester. To receive an overall positive grade in the discipline, the grade for the exam cannot be less than 24 points. In the event that a student scored less than 24 points on the exam, they are not added to the semester grade (regardless of the number of points obtained during the academic period). In the examination report, "0" is entered in the "exam/exam points" column, and only the number of points received during the study period is transferred to the "resulting grade" column. Thus, the final grade for the discipline (minimum 60, maximum 100 points) consists of the sum of the number of points for the study period (minimum 36, maximum 60 points) and the examination paper (minimum 24, maximum 40 points).
