Assessment methods and criteria
Semester score is obtaining within two modules with written test and individual tasks with 20-30 points. Final score (oral test with practical tasks) with test of 2 questions up to 20 points with 0-40 points in total. Condition to achieve a positive grade is obtaining not less than 60 points. If all individual tasks are fulfilled with 35 or more points additional 40 points are given without a final test.
