Warunki zaliczenia

Regular class attendance is a student obligation. One excused absence is allowed, however, student is obliged to make up missed class.

Examinations and Grades:

Condition to be admitted to the final exam is to obtain a positive grade, which is the mean value of the grade from evaluation test (labs) (50% of the available points) and the grade from multimedia presentation (seminars). The final exam is in form of a test containing 60 single-choice questions and covers the entire thematic scope (labs, seminars and lectures). To pass the exam student must obtain 60% of the points available. Absence will result in failing the exam.   

Because the lectures/seminars and labs series will not cover all the required material, studying and reading material from textbooks and monographs, research papers is essential to success.

Grades are based on the percentage of points earned:

- from 0% - 59% -unsatisfactory (2.0) and fails the test

- from 60% - 67% - satisfactory ( 3.0 )

- from 68 % - 75% - fairly good ( 3.5)

- from 76 % - 84% - good ( 4.0 )

- from 85 % - 93% - better than good ( 4.5 )

- from 94% - 100% - very good ( 5.0 )

FINAL GRADE - is the mean value of all forms provided for the completion of the course.

The results of the mean value are determined according to the principle: mean 3.25 is the final score of 3.5; mean 3.75 is the final score of 4.0; mean 4.25 is the final score of 4.5; the mean of 4.75 is the final score of 5.0.
