General Rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes set out in point 2.2 is based on: 1. the summative assessment of the competencies acquired during the semester (2 mid-term exams) 2. formative assessment (group task and its presentation).
Performance assessment methods
Detailed description of performance assessments conducted during the study period: 1. Summative assessment: a complex, written assessment method of the knowledge and ability-type competency-elements of the subject in the form of two mid-term exams. The mid-term exams focus on assessing the acquired knowledge and its application. The lectures serving as basis for the assessment are determined by the subject lecturer. 2. Formative assessment: a complex assessment method of the knowledge, ability, attitude, as well as independence and responsibility-type competency-elements of the subject, the form of which is a group task-solution by processing and analyzing data sets typical of energetics and presenting the results obtained from it.

---|---|
Excellent | 92-100 |
Very good | 85-91 |
Good | 70–84 |
Satisfactory | 55–69 |
Pass | 40–54 |
Fail | 0-39 |
Retake and late completion
1) Pursuant to the current CoS, each summative assessment can be retaken, repeated or completed late. 2) The summative assessments can be retaken, repeated or completed late for the first time during the late completion period free of charge. In the event of a retake, the new result always overwrites the old one. 3) If the student is unable to obtain a grade other than 'Fail' even with the retake, repeat and late completion possibilities according to point 1), they may make a second attempt to successfully complete the course after paying the fee specified in the regulations. 4) Due to the nature of the formative assessment, it cannot be retaken, repeated or completed late.
