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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture exam - final grade - arithmetic mean of the grades obtained for each question
Class Test from momentum, heat and mass transport. Final grade - arithmetic mean of the grades obtained for each test.
The final grade ((exam grade)*0.7+( exercises grade)*0.3)*w, but not less than 3 w - coefficient taking into account the term when positive final grade was obtained, w = 1,0 first term, w = 0,9 second term, w = 0,8 third term.
