Assessment methods
The in-term tests will be written in the seminars of the 5th and the 10th week of the semester. A student can obtain up to 50 points for each test (max. 100 points). A submission and presentation of a seminar project will be assessed either passed or failed.
Requirements for admission to the test:
- obtaining at least 60 points at the in-term tests, which means 60% success rate.
- the seminar project assessed "passed".
The course is completed with an written exam.
If a student commits a prohibited act, such as using various forbidden tools (e.g. cheatsheets), cribbing, taking out any part of the test or any other form of cheating, the teacher is allowed to interrupt the test and to grade the student with F according to the seriousness of the offence. The described procedure applies to all the activities that are included in the final evaluation of the course (semester project).
