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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture On the basis of the mark obtained in test. Factor "w" taking into account the date of completion: w=1 for the first term; w=0.9 for the second term; w=0.8 for the third term.
Laboratory Laboratory - solving selected problems by the use of MATLAB software. Factor "w" taking into account the date of completion: w=1 for the first term; w=0.9 for the second term; w=0.8 for the third term.
The final grade The final mark (OK) is calulated as follows: OK= 0,65*OW + 0,35*OL; OW - mark for lecture, OL - mark for laboratory
