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 note is proportional to the number of points earned during exam and follows criteria of the 'Wydziałowa Księga Jakości Kształcenia'. The positive note is achived only when 50% primary points is collected.
Laboratory Pass note is granted to the students who participated in all laboratory exercises and presented written report based on performed exercises.
The final grade The final note is an avarage of all notes collected from the modules: K=a*wA+c*wC+l*wL (a-lecture coeff., c-tutorial coeff., l-laboratory 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.
