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

The type of classes The way of giving the final grade
Lecture A written test including the content of the lectures. An examination mark depends on the score gained: 3.0 (50.0%-60.0%) MP ; 3.5 (60.1%-70.0%) MP; 4.0 (70.1%-80.0%) MP; 4,5 (80.1%-90.0%) MP; 5.0 (90.1%-100%) MP. MP denotes the full score.
Laboratory The necessary condition for receiving a credit for laboratory is obtaining at least a pass mark in every exercise included in the schedule. The mark in a single unit corresponds to the mark obtained for a written/oral test. The necessary condition to pass the unit is also correct performance of the laboratory work and correct/individual preparation of a report. The mark in laboratory is an arithmetic mean of the marks obtained for every exercise included in the schedule. The final mark in laboratory is rounded according to WKZJK.
The final grade A final mark (K): K= 0.5 w L + 0.5 w E; where: L, W denote respectively a positive mark in the laboratory and the lecture. w – a coefficient for a resit, w = 1.0 for a regular term, w = 0.9 for a first resit, w = 0.8 for a second resit. A final mark is rounded according to WKZJK.
