General Rules

The assessment of the learning outcomes stated in point 2.2. is based on two mid-term written summative assessments (summative evaluation of learning outcomes) and homework.

Performance assessment methods

Detailed description of performance evaluations during the semester: 1. Summative evaluation of learning outcomes (summative assessment): a complex, written evaluation method of the subject and knowledge, ability-type competence elements in the form of a closed paper; the thesis basically focuses on the application of the acquired knowledge, thus focusing on problem recognition and solution. The course material on which the evaluation is based is determined by the lecturer of the subject, the available working time is 90 minutes. 2. Partial performance evaluation (homework): a complex evaluation method of the subject's competence elements such as knowledge, ability, attitude, and independence and responsibility, which takes the form of homework done individually or in groups; the teacher determines the content, requirements, submission deadline and evaluation method of the homework.

Percentage of performance assessments, conducted during the study period, within the rating

  • 1st summative assessment: 40
  • 2nd summative assessment: 40
  • Partial performance assessment (homework): 20

Retake and late completion

1) There is no individual minimum requirement for individual mid-term summative assessments, therefore individual retaking is not possible. 2) Homework can be submitted late on the last day of the make-up period until 4:00 p.m. or sent in electronic form until 11:59 p.m., subject to payment of the fee specified in the regulations. 3) Submitted and accepted homework can be corrected free of charge by the deadline and method specified in point 2). 4) The two summative assessments can be retaken or corrected in a combined form during the replacement period - for the first time - free of charge. In case of improvement, we will take into account the previous and the new result that is more favorable to the student. 5) If the student is unable to obtain a grade other than insufficient even with the replacement according to point 4), then - in addition to paying the fee specified in the regulations - a second, combined attempt to improve the unsuccessful first retake can be taken.
