At the end of the study course, a differentiated final assessment by the amount of points obtained may be posted if it is not less than 18 points, which corresponds to the assessment “almost good”. Such final assessment may be obtained by the student if the attendance of the classes is not less than 75%, all practical work has been completed and passed, as well as a positive assessment in 2 colloquia has been obtained. If the amount of points obtained in the study course is less than 18 points, all practical work has been passed and a positive assessment has been obtained in 2 colloquia, then the student shall take the theoretical examination. If the requirements of the study course are not resettled within 2 weeks after the time period provided for in the study schedule, by prior agreement with the teaching staff, the student shall take them during the nearest examination period. After passing the requirements of the study course, the student shall be admitted to taking the theoretical examination of the course. The examination shall be repeated to the Commission for a second time. In case of a second failed examination, the student may re-study this study course in the next year of studies in general order. |
