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 grading scale depends on the sum of points from tests involving topics of the lecture . 50-60 % dst (3.0 ) ; 61-70 % dst + (3.5 ) ; 71-80 % db (4.0 ) 81-90 % db + ( 4.5 ) ; 91-100 % bdb (5.0)
Class Total score of two partial written tests and oral answers . Weight written tests is two times higher than oral answers . Grading scale : 50-60 % dst (3.0 ) ; 61-70 % dst + (3.5 ) ; 71-80 % db (4.0 ) 81-90 % db + ( 4.5 ) ; 91-100% bdb (5,0)
