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

The type of classes	The way of giving the final grade
Lecture	Written test. The grade is issued in a manner appropriate to the number of points received during the exam: 51-60% - dst, 61-70% - dst+, 71-80% - db, 81-90 - db+, 91-100 - bdb.
Laboratory	Written test. The grade is issued in a manner appropriate to the number of points received during the test: 51-60% - dst, 61-70% - dst+, 71-80% - db, 81-90 - db+, 91-100 - bdb.
The final grade	The final grade is the average of the grade of lectures and a final evaluation labs (50/50). The average may be drawn only if both grades are positive
