The assessment of the learning outcomes set out in point 1. is based on a hand-held disserta-tion and an oral exam.

Mid-semester assessment: Summative academic performance evaluation: complex, written way of evaluating the ability-type competence elements of the subject and knowledge in the form of two mid-term exams. Assessment in exam period: Oral performance evaluation (oral exam): oral examination on the basis of a pre-issued list of items.

• 1st mid-term exam: 25%
• 2nd mid-term exam: 25%
• sum: 50%

• oral exam: 50%
• calculating the mid-semester results: 50%
• sum: 100%

The requirement for obtaining the signature is that the students have to achieve at least 40% of the points ob-tainable in both mid-semester exams declared in 3.3. The obtained signature is valid for the period according to the general rules of the university.

Min. 40% score have to be achieved in both mid-semester exams. The mid-term exams can be complemented in the complementary mid-term exam held in the last week of the semester, and also in the complementary-complementary mid-term exam held in the complementary period. The oral exams can be amended according to the general rules of the university.

Pre-2017, next review September 2021.
