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 credit of lecture covering the entire range of material of lecture. Evaluation of the test depends on the number of points scored: 3,0 (50,0 %-60,0%) MP ; 3,5 (60,1%-70,0%) MP; 4,0 (70,1%-80,0%) MP; 4,5 (80,1%-90,0%) MP; 5,0 (90,1%-100%) MP. MP- max. points.
Laboratory Correct preparation of written reports on every exercise included in the schedule. Laboratory grade (L) depends on the number of points scored: 3,0 (50,0 %-60,0%) MP ; 3,5 (60,1%-70,0%) MP; 4,0 (70,1%-80,0%) MP; 4,5 (80,1%-90,0%) MP; 5,0 (90,1%-100%) MP. MP- max. points.
Project/Seminar Submission of written report on the project and its positive evaluation (P).
The final grade Final grade (K):K= 1/3(W* w + L * w + P* w); where: W, L,P - positive evaluation of the credit of lecture, laboratory, project ; w - factor related to the time of credit or laboratory, w= 1.0 first term, w = 0.9 second term , w = 0.8 third term.The grade is rounded according to WKZJK.
