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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Positive mark of the written exam in the form of a test - W1. The grading scale is provided on the examination sheet. The evaluation depends on the percentage obtained as follows: 50,1-60%: 3.0 60,1-70%: 3.5 70,1-80%: 4.0 80,1-90%: 4.5 90,1-100%: 5.0 The mark from the second term - 0.9 of the mark obtained.
Laboratory	Student must perform all of the planed experiments, prepare and pass written reports, pass tests from theoretical information connected with laboratory lessons. Average mark from test, written report from each exercise – W2. Weighting factor: w = 1,0 first term, w = 0,9 second term.
The final grade	Final mark: W = w 0,5 W1 + w 0,5 W2; w - weighting factor: w = 1,0 first term, w = 0,9 second term.
