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 final note is proportional to the results from the test.
Laboratory	The final note is proportional to the results from the admittance tests. The student must collect 50% of all points per test, take part in all tests and timely deliver written reports.
The final grade	The final note is an avarage of all notes collected from the module: K=(wA+wC+wL)/n (A-lecture, C-tutorial, L-laboratory, 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. The exact coefficiants are presented durring organizatorial meeting.
