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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Written exam after getting ranking from laboratory exercises - (OW). Scopes of points corresponding to individual evaluations: 3.0 - 50-60%, 3.5 - 61-70%, 4.0 - 71-80%, 4.5 - 81-90%, 5.0 - 91-100%.
Laboratory	The final note from laboratory exercises (OL) is calculated according to the following formula: (OL) = 0.8Kw (K - arithmetic mean of 2 written tests) + 0.3Sw (S - arithmetic mean of 4 written reports); w - rate taking the date of ranking into account, w = 1 (the first date), w = 0.9 (the second date), w = 0.8 (the third date); they drew up based on WKZJK. Scopes of points corresponding to individual evaluations: 3.0 - 50-60%, 3.5 - 61-70%, 4.0 - 71-80%, 4.5 - 81-90%, 5.0 - 91-100%.
The final grade	The final note (OK) from the module is calculated according to the following formula: (OK) = 0.7w (OW) + 0.3w (OL); w - rate taking the date of ranking into account, w = 1 (the first date), w = 0.9 (the second date), w = 0.8 (the third date); they drew up based on WKZJK.
