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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture 1.To pass tasks related to the use of information about hazardous substances and risk assessment. 2. Obtain a passing grade (OZ) on the written test. Negative grade: 2.0 (ndst) corresponds to obtaining between 0.0 and 49.9% of the total number of points. Positive grades: 3.0 (dst) corresponds to obtaining 50.0 to 66.1% of the points, 3.5 (+dst) corresponds to obtaining 66.2 to 75.1% of the points, 4.0 (db) corresponds to obtaining 75.2 to 85.1% of the points, 4.5 (+db) corresponds to obtaining 4.5 (+db) corresponds to obtaining 85.2 to 94.1% of the points, 5.0 (bdb) corresponds to obtaining 94.2 to 100% of the points.
The final grade The final grade (OK) is calculated using the formula: OK = w·OZ, where "w" is a factor that takes into account the time for obtaining a passing grade for credit: 1.0 - first term; 0.9 - second term, 0.8 - third term, and then rounded according to the rules given in the Quality of Education Handbook of the Faculty of Chemistry at Technical University of Rzeszów.
