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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture The grade is issued in a manner appropriate to the number of points received during the exam: 50-59% - [3], 60-69% - [3,5], 70-79% - [4], 80-89 - [4,5, 90-100 - [5]
Laboratory The grade is issued on the basis of the average grade of 6 tests. Test points: 50-59% - [3], 60-69% - [3,5], 70-79% - [4], 80-89 - [4,5, 90-100 - [5]
The final grade The final grade is the average of the grade of lectures and a final evaluation labs (50/50). The average may be drawn only if both grades are positive
