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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Positive mark from the credit colloquium. 0-50% pt - 2.0, 50-60% pt. - 3.0, 60-70% pts. 3.5t, 70-80% pts - 4.0, 80-90% pts. - 4.5, 90-100% pts - 5.0
Laboratory	Obtain a passing score on all laboratory exercises
The final grade	Final grade (K): K = 0.5wW + 0.5wL; where: W, L stands for a passing grade in lecture, laboratory respectively w - a coefficient that takes into account the date of the credit or exam, w = 1.0 first term, w = 0.9 second term, w = 0.8 third term.
