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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture The pass note is granted to students with at least 50% of points from the written test.
Laboratory Credit is granted for to the students who participated in all exercises, passed all control tests and submitted all required reports.
The final grade The final note is an derivaticve of all points/partial notes collected from the module activities and precise rages are communicated before the test. The final note is calculated according to equation: K=a*wA+c*wC+l*wL (a-lecture coeff., c-tutorial coeff., l-laboratory/project coeff., w=1,0, w=0,9, w=0,8 receptively for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd attempt). The note is calculated only if all components have been passed. Values of coefficiants are presented to the students during the initial teaching session.
