For a student to get a successful assessment, differentiated test requirements: attitude towards education, development dynamics, active activity in seminars (50%) and independent learning performed by the student (50%).
For mastering the study course, the student receives a differentiated assessment on a 10-point scale. To get a positive assessment for the study course, the total assessment should sum up to at least 4.
The student receives assessment by summing up the number of points, assessing knowledge, skills and competences in the performance of individual tasks (independent works, productive activity during seminars, examination, attitude).
The total assessment is summative.
