Eligibility for exams

To be admitted to exams, students must attend 80% of the classes

Calculation formula of final grade

FG= 0.70*FE + 0.30 T; FG- Final grade; FE- Final Exam grade; T - Tests grade. In the exam the minimum mark is 8/20.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam according to the calendar of the department.

Classification improvement

Students can not improve the grade of the tests.
