Evaluation and assessment of the students’ work in the class and final exam
The student’s acquired knowledge is evaluated during classes by participating in the formation of exercises. The final grade of student knowledge is formed in the oral exam as a common grade: student activity in the lectures, assessment of exercises, assessment of midterm exams and assessment of the written and oral part of the exam. If a student is absent from more than 30% of classes, he loses all points pertaining to the final grade.
