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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Laboratory The formulation of the problem, solve it and present the results as a report and an oral description - OL
The final grade Final mark (FM): FM = w*OL w - a factor related to the term credit or examination, w = 1,0 the first term,w = 0,9 the second term, w = 0,8 a third term. While rounding average, the following rules are apply: to 3,30 – dst (3,0); 3,31 - 3,75 – +dst (3,5); 3,76 - 4,25 – db (4,0); 4,26 - 4,70 – +db (4,5); from 4,71 – bdb (5,0).
