Requirements for passing the course
- 1st element: final test (70% of the final grade)
The final test will be a written multiple-choice test (one correct answer to each question). The test must be passed with a positive result (at least 50% of the total points). It will be organized only once. Absence at the final test (on the required date) results in failing the course (NC grade).
- 2nd element: short tests and class participation (30% of the final grade)
- Short tests (5 minutes each) will be organized 5 times during the semester without prior announcement. Each test can give you 0-5 points (depending on the correctness of your answer).
- Class participation: For each problem solved individually at the board, if you volunteer to do so, you can receive a maximum of 6 points (depending on the correctness of your solution). If asked to solve a problem at the board by the instructor, you do not receive any points.
- In total you can receive a maximum of 30 points for short tests and class participation during the semester.
In the retake exam period (in March) there will be only one final test organized, taking the same form as the normal final test. All participants of the course are allowed to take the retake test, regardless of the result from the first approach. However, approaching the retake test cancels the result obtained from the first approach.
Your final grade is determined on the basis of the sum of the final test score and points for participation in class and short tests gathered during the regular semester of class.
Please note that:
- All tests are organized according to the rules of "Zero tolerance for cheating".
- There are no other possibilities (neither new dates nor rules) for passing the course.
- Grades are given according to the following scale:
| points | final grade |
| 90-100 | 5 |
| 80-89 | 4+ |
| 70-79 | 4 |
| 60-69 | 3+ |
| 50-59 | 3 |
| 0-49 | 2 |
