Assessment criteria
The condition for passing the course is the achievement of the assumed learning outcomes.
Candidates who have passed the exercises with a grade of at least 3.0 can take the exam. The exam is written and consists of test questions. The basis for passing the exam is obtaining at least 51% of the maximum number of points. Passing the exercises consists in obtaining at least 51% of the maximum number of points from each test. Points obtained for active participation in classes are also included in the grade.
Grading scale:
0-50% of points - 2.0
51-60% of points - 3.0
61-70% of points - 3.5
71-80% of points - 4.0
81-90% of points - 4.5
91-100% of points - 5.0
