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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture Positive mark of the written exam. 0-50% point.- 2,0, 50-60% point.. – 3.0, 60-70% point. 3.5, 70-80% point. – 4.0, 80-90% point. – 4.5, 90-100% point. – 5.0
Laboratory Student must conduct all of the planed experiments, prepare and pass written reports, pass tests from theoretical information connected with exepriments.
