Student workload

Lessons 28 h
Exercises sessions 26 h
Exams 4 h
Self-study (homework, exercises, preparing for exams etc.) 77 h

Evaluation methods and criteria

To pass the course, you must
- submit at least 40 % of the ViLLE exercises
- achieve at least 5/14 points in both midterm exams.

Failed (0)

The student has not demonstrated that they have achieved the objectives of the course. The student recognizes and can use only a few concepts related to the course's subject matter and is unable to apply what they have learned.

A failing grade follows if:
- The student has not submitted enough ViLLE assignments (less than 40%).
- The student has not passed one or both of the midterm exams (minimum 5/14 points on each exam).

The course will also be failed if any academic misconduct is detected in the student's performance. The first detected instance of misconduct or an attempt at misconduct will result in the rejection of the individual exam or assignment. The second detected instance will lead to the failure of the entire course.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The student has demonstrated that they have satisfactorily achieved the objectives of the course. The student recognizes and can somewhat utilize the concepts related to the course's subject matter.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The student has demonstrated that they have achieved the objectives of the course well, although there is still room for improvement in certain areas of knowledge and skills. The student can effectively use the concepts related to the course's subject matter and apply what they have learned in both academic and professional situations.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student has demonstrated that they have excellently achieved the objectives of the course. The student has a strong command of the concepts related to the course's subject matter and can analyze related issues fluently and with well-founded reasoning. The student is well-equipped to apply what they have learned in both academic and professional situations.
