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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture Final test covering the material carried on the lecture. Rating depends on the number of points obtained in test grading: very good-from 0.9 to 1 (90-100%) good plus -from 0.85 to 0.90 (85-90%) Good -from 0.75 to 0.85 75-85%) sufficient plus- from 0.70 to 0.75 (70-75%) sufficient- from 0.50 to 0.70 (50-70%) insufficient - less than 0.50 (50%).
The final grade The final grade (K): K = w Z; where Z represents an positive assessment of the final test, in - factor including term credit in the first term w = 1.0 w = 0.9 second term, w = 0.8 third term. The assessment is rounded in accordance with WKZJK.
