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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Written exam after getting ranking from laboratory exercises - (OW). Scopes of points corresponding to individual evaluations: 3.0 - 50-60%, 3.5 - 61-70%, 4.0 - 71-80%, 4.5 - 81-90%, 5.0 - 91-100%.
Laboratory	Performing all laboratory exercises, filing reports and obtaining positive assessments from two final writing tests (OL). Scopes of points corresponding to individual evaluations: 3.0 - 50-60%, 3.5 - 61-70%, 4.0 - 71-80%, 4.5 - 81-90%, 5.0 - 91-100%.
The final grade	The final note (OK) is calculated according to the formula: (OK) = 0,6w (OW) + 0,4w (OL); w - factor related to the time of credit of project, w = 1 (first term), w = 0,9 (second term), w = 0,8 (third term). The grade is rounded according to WKZJK.
