Assessment methods
The in-term tests in seminars will be taken in weeks 7 and 12 of the semester. Students are allowed to take the exam (written) after the following requirements have been met: - scoring at least 60% in each in-term test. - completing assigned questionnaires. The course is completed with an written exam. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
