Assessment criteria

To successfully complete the Polish language course and obtain credit, a student is required to:

1.Attend all classes.
Each student is allowed to miss one class without having to give an excuse. If a student misses a class, they must catch up on the missed material. The student is obliged to make up for each absence by performing a written or oral task assigned by the teacher. It is the student's responsibility to communicate with the teacher as soon as possible about any attendance issues.
A student who misses more than three classes will not be allowed to take the course test at the end of the academic year and will not receive course credits.

2. Come to classes punctually.

3.Actively participate in each class.

4.Complete all the assignments by the due date.

5.Pass all written tests and the final written or oral tests at the end of the semester.
A student who fails the final tests can take two resits.
The final course grade a student receives is the average (arithmetic mean) of the written and oral test grades (grades of 2-5), or a grade of 3 for passing a resit. A minimum score of 60% must be obtained on each (written and oral) test to pass the course.

A student who misses a scheduled test will receive a score of 0 unless they present a valid medical note within three days of the scheduled test date and make up for the missed test on the date set by the class teacher.
