Assessment methods
Type of teaching: lectures
Requirements for completion of the course:
1. Assessement of a semester work. The assessment of semester work is similar to the grading of colloquium, which is passed or failed. In case of the assessment failed the student will not be admitted to the exam. In case of the assessment passed the semester work will be reflected in the final assessment of up to 10 % (1 point) according to the assessment of the teacher.
2. Examination test and final grading.
The admission to the exam is subject to submitting and presenting the semester work on a given topic with the assessment passed.
The final grade is made up of the result of the exam test, which covers lectures and literature, (maximum 10 points) and the assessment of the semester work (a bonus of up to 1 point).
Grading scale:
A: 90 - 100% (9 - 10 points),
B: 85 - 89% (8.5 - 8.9 points),
C: 75 - 84% (7.5 - 8.4 points),
D: 70 - 74% (7.0 - 7.4 points),
E: 60 - 69% (6.0 - 6.9 points),
F: less than 60% (less than 6 points).
If a student commits a prohibited act, such as using various forbidden tools (e.g. cheatsheets), cribbing, taking out any part of the test or any other form of cheating, the teacher is allowed to interrupt the test and to grade the student with F, FF or even FFF, according to the seriousness of the offence. The described procedure applies to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course (semester paper).
