Assessment methods
Exam: continuously during the semester will be written 2 partial subtests on nomenclature (range 15 minutes) and 2 subtests on calculations (range 15 minutes).
At the end of the semester, students can chose:
a) either to receive a grade based on the results of the subtests
b) or he/she solves a comprehensive test on nomenclature and calculations (range 60 minutes).
The resulting evaluation will be assigned according to the points received in the worse mastered part of subject matter:
50-59,5 % - E
60-69,5 % - D
70-79,5 % - C
80-89,5 % - B
90-100 % - A
