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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Mark of the written test from the lectures – W1. The test mark depends on the score gained: 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
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, taking into account the observations of performance of each exercise – W2
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, w = 0,8 third term.
