Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam |
Successfully completed project assignment. | |||||||||||
| 20. | Forms of assessment |
The students are obliged to complete and present a project assignment during the semester. A final written and/or oral exam is scheduled during the exam sessions. The students complete the course if they pass the final exam and had previously completed and presented the project assignment during the semester. The final grade takes into account the points from both the final exam and the project assignment. |
