A cumulative assessment may be awarded to a student if all intermediate examinations have been passed for the first time and the score obtained in each of them is at least 8 (eight points) or the student has obtained at least 75% of the maximum possible score in the relevant intermediate examination. No cumulative assessment shall be granted if: - the student has not participated in at least one intermediate examination without justification; - minimum requirements for weekly classes have not been met - violations of academic integrity have been found. Cases which do not fall within the above conditions are dealt with on an individual basis. In the case of a cumulative assessment, the final mark (overall course score) is determined as the mean mark from the two intermediate course tests, provided that the weekly class tests are also 75% successful (7 weekly class tests must be successful). If the student has not been awarded a cumulative assessment, the student shall take the examination. The overall score of the examination consists of 20% of the class tests passed (20% = 9 class tests, 55% to be admitted to the examination) + 30% of the arithmetic mean score of the two successful cross-examinations in the balls + 50% of the arithmetic mean score of the successful examination in the balls. |
