Assessment methods and criteria
The final semester grade is determined by the points earned by the student during the completion of the specified types and forms of instruction, as well as the points earned on the final exam; the maximum weighting is distributed according to the following formula: 80 points (80%) – semester assessments and 20 points (20%) – final assessment in the form of a multiple-choice test.
If a student scores less than 12 points on the final test (which is 60% of the 20 points allocated for this type of assessment), they are not added to the semester grade regardless of the number of points earned during the semester, and only the number of points earned during the semester is entered in the “final grade” column of the exam record.
