Detailed description of mid-term performance assessments: - The complex written assessment of knowledge and skill competencies of the subject is based on two mid-term tests during the semester. The tests focus on practical adaptation of the knowledge students gained in the learning process, which does not exclude testing theoretical knowledge. The parts of the learning material for the tests are selected by the lecturer of the subject. Working time for test writing is 50 minutes/test.

• Summarizing study performance test: 50%
• total: 100%

According to TVSZ.

- As neither of mid-term tests determines pass marks, they cannot be retaken or made up for separately; stu- dents can retake or make up for it only in the form of one contracted test paper during make-up period free of charge. In case of retake better result is considered in grading. - If the sudent cannot achieve the minimum requirement by retake, they can make the second attempt to write the contracted test provided they have paid the fee according to the rules.
