Kryteria oceniania

A graded credit on the basis of active participation in classes and one final test assessing the level of achieving particular learning outcomes.

Assessment Methods
- Preparation for classes and active participation in classes (U1, U2, U3, K1) - 30% of the final grade
- final test (W1) - 70% of the final grade

The final grade will be given in reference to the following scale:

60%-71% = 3.

72%-76% = 3+

77%-84% = 4.

85%-90% = 4+

91%-100% = 5.

The students are evaluated in accordance with the university regulations, and they must attend all course meetings. No unexcused absences are allowed - each unexcused absence means 10% off the student's grade. Missing 7 classes (or more), even if excused, is likely to result in failing to obtain a passing grade.
