19.    Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular class attendance
20.   Forms of assessment Two partial written exams are provided during the semester, at the middle and at the end of the semester, with duration of 120 minutes; and test that are conducted during the classes. For students who have passed the partial exams, the exam is considered as passed. The other students take the final exam on the whole material, with duration of 120 minutes. Students make seminar works during the semester. The final grade is formed considering points from the partial exams/final exam, tests and seminar works.
