The way of giving the component module grades and the final grade

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture The grade is issued in a manner appropriate to the number of points received during the exam
Laboratory The grade is issued on the basis of the average grade of the tests.
The final grade The final grade is the average of the grade of lectures and a final evaluation labs (50/50). The average may be drawn only if both grades are positive
