Assessment methods

1.Control test, in the seminars students will write in 3.tutorial
2.Closing evaluation of the results of the work - a condition of participation in the test is successful completion of the planned test; condition for the successful completion of control test is a formal evaluation of 60% or more.
3. The test results and evaluation (exam has two parts - through part, which consists of a Control test, and final part, which consists of a Final test).
The final mark is made up of:
Control test I assessment (50%) + Final test (50%)
To evaluate the performance of students in the test the following scale:
A = 92 - 100%
B = 84 - 91%
C = 76 - 83%
D = 68 - 75%
E = 60 - 67%
F = less than 60%

Any copying, recording or obtaining tests, use of unauthorized tools as well as other means of communication or objectivity distortion test (credit) will be considered as failure to comply with the course completion and a gross violation of regulations. Consequently, teacher close examination (credit) in the evaluation of IS grade "F" and the Dean initiates disciplinary proceedings which may result in up to exclusion from the study.
