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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture Final test covering the material carried on the lecture. Rating depends on the number of points obtained in test grading: very good-from 0.9 to 1 (90-100%) good plus -from 0.85 to 0.90 (85-90%) Good -from 0.75 to 0.85 75-85%) sufficient plus- from 0.70 to 0.75 (70-75%) sufficient- from 0.50 to 0.70 (50-70%) insufficient - less than 0.50 (50%).
