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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Grade from written colloquium
Laboratory	Grade is an average of laboratory colloquia
The final grade	Final grade (OK) is calculated as average of a lectures-based written colloquium (W), and from laboratory exercises (L) OK = 0.5W + 0.5L Grades are multiplied with 1 for first evaluation deadline, 0.9 for 1st retake and 0.8 for 2nd retake.
