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 - 60%, 3.5 - 70%, 4.0 - 80%, 4.5 - 90%, 5.0 - 95%.
Laboratory Performing all laboratory exercises, obtaining positive assessments from final writting test (OL). Scopes of points corresponding to individual evaluations: 3.0 - 60%, 3.5 - 70%, 4.0 - 80%, 4.5 - 90%, 5.0 - 95%.
The final grade Final rating (OK) OK = 0.5 * OW * ws + 0.5 * OL * ws OW - exam grade OL - grade from passing the laboratory ws - coefficient taking into account the date of passing the exam or exam, ws = 1.0 the first term, ws = 0.9 the second term, ws = 0.8 the third term. When rounding the averages, the following rules apply: up to 3.30 - dst (3.0), 3.31 to 3.75 - + dst (3.5), from 3.76 to 4.25 - db (4.0 ), from 4.26 to 4.70 - + db (4.5), from 4.71 - very good (5.0).
