Lecture: written final test. Grading scale: points obtained/grade: 0 – 50%/ unsatisfactory; 51 – 60%/ satisfactory; 61- 70% / sufficient plus; 71 – 80%/ good; 81 -90%/ good plus; 91 -100%/ very good.
The basis for determining the final grade is the weighted average obtained by adding: 0.5 grade for the lecture and 0.5 grade for the exercises. The weighted average is rounded to two decimal places. The final grade is determined on the basis of a weighted average according to the principle: below 3.24 - satisfactory, from 3.25 to 3.74 - satisfactory plus, from 3.75 to 4.24 - good, from 4.25 to 4.74 – good plus, from 4.75 – very good.
