Evaluation methods and criteria

During the course, there will be exercises, for which you will get 0-6 points depending on the task. The course does not have a separate exam. So, the grade will be based on the total points you receive from exercises. Individual assignments are not mandatory, but points are awarded for each assignment that is returned.

Course grades according to points:
Grade 5 (points 26-28(32)), excellent
Grade 4 (scores 23-25), good
Grade 3 (scores 20-22), good
Grade 2 (scores 17-19), satisfactory
Grade 1 (scores 14-16), satisfactory
Grade 0 (scores below 14), rejected

You can get a maximum of 4 points from bonus tasks, which means you can get a higher grade with +1 number.
