Assessment methods
Assessment 1. Obligatory active participation in seminars: 75% full-time students; 50 % part-time students. 2. Apart from the obligatory active participation in the seminars, the students will have to pass a written test at the end of the course which will be a precondition for gaining the CREDITS. The minimum success level is reaching 60 points out of 100 point credit test. 3. Additional study obligations: in case the student has the seminar attendance between 40-70 % (full time students), or as the case may be, between 4-6 lessons (part-time students), he/she will be evaluated „-“ and automatically loses one attempt to pass the test. The seminar attendance less than 40 % means that the student didn't meet additional study obligations and he/she will be assessed as "Failed" = NNN. In this case the students will have to transfer the subject to the following term/study year, and after purchasing the necessary credits he/she will have again three attempts to gain the necessary credits to pass the subject (i.e. written test).
