Assessment criteria
Active participation in classes.
The course ends with a grade. The grade is based on tests. To receive a positive grade, the student has to earn at least 60% of the availabale points in the tests.
60 – 74% = 3, 75 – 82% = 4, 83 – 100% = 5
There are no retakes of separate tests. Students may be absent on the day of a test only because of medical reasons.
Students who receive less than 60% of point will be able to retake a test (the entire material) at the end of the course, but the only available grade is 3.
Students are allowed to be absent twice during a term. Students whose number of unexcused absences is more than twice per semester are obliged to get credit for the material covered during the classes he/she was absent on.
