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 final tes: 50-59% - [3], 60-69% - [3,5], 70-79% - [4], 80-89 - [4,5], 90-100 - [5]
Laboratory	The grade is issued on the basis of the average grade of the tests. Test points: 50-59% - [3], 60-69% - [3,5], 70-79% - [4], 80-89 - [4,5, 90-100 - [5]
The final grade	The final grade is the average of the grade of lectures and a final evaluation labs K=0,4wL+0,1wS+0,5wZ (L-llaboratory, Z-final test, S-raport, w-coefficient taking into account term, w = 1 for the first term. W = 0.9 for the second term in = 0.8 for the third term). The average may be drawn only if all grades are positive
