| 20. | Forms of assessment |
During the semester, tests are conducted during the classes. Written exam is taken for a maximum of 120 minutes at the end of the semester or in exam sessions. A seminar paper or project task (team or individual) is prepared. The final grade includes points from the exam, tests and from the seminar paper or project assignment. A special instruction published before each exam regulates the manner of taking the exam and the use of teaching aids and electronic devices during the exam. |
