Assessment of the student work
Student work will be assessed and graded during the course and on the final exam. During the course, students may obtain a total of 100 grade points (credits). Students can achieve up to 70% of the final grade during the classes, and a maximum of 30% of the final grade at the final exam.
Evaluation of students’ progress during classes, midterms, and the final exam in the academic year 2026/2027 is shown in Table 1.

Written midterm exams
During the semester, three written midterm exams are planned, which will cover the content of lectures, seminars, and laboratory practicals. At each midterm exam, the maximum number of grade points that a student can obtain is 20. All written midterm exams consist of 40 multiple-choice questions and are evaluated according to the criteria shown in Table 2. In order to obtain grade points, a student should have/gain a minimum 50% of correct answers on each midterm exam.

Correction of the midterm exams
Students are eligible to retake a midterm exam if they: (i) fail to meet the minimum passing requirement (50% on each midterm exam), (ii) are dissatisfied with the grade points obtained, or (iii) were absent from the original midterm exam for a justified reason. If a student chooses to retake a midterm exam to improve their grade points, only the points earned on the retake will be considered, regardless of whether the new score is higher or lower than the original score.
The assessment of retaken midterm exams will follow the criteria presented in Table 2. Students are allowed to retake one or more midterm exams only once. Retake examinations for Midterm Exams I–III will be held after the completion of regular classes, on dates specified in the course schedule.
Laboratory practicals
Students can gain a maximum of 8 grade points through laboratory practicals. The assessment of laboratory practicals is based on the accurate and successful completion of the experimental work (maximum of 4 grade points) and the submission and acceptance of a written laboratory report (maximum of 4 grade points). During laboratory practicals, the instructor may also assess students' knowledge through oral questioning.
Seminars
Throughout the course, 12 seminars are planned during which students can achieve 2 grade points through active participation.
Final exam
The final exam is mandatory and consists of two components: a written and an oral examination. Students can earn a maximum of 30 grade points in the final exam, with up to 15 points awarded for the written component and 15 points for the oral component. Students must meet the minimum passing requirements for both components.
Students who pass all three midterm exams on their first attempt will not be required to take the written component of the final exam. Instead, the grade points awarded for this component will be determined based on the average percentage score achieved across the three midterm exams. This average will be converted into grade points according to the criteria presented in Table 3.
Both the written and oral components of the final exam cover the entire course content. The written examination consists of 30 multiple-choice questions. To meet the minimum passing requirements and earn grade points, students must answer at least 50% of the questions correctly. The percentage score achieved in the written examination will be converted into grade points according to the criteria presented in Table 3. Students who do not meet the minimum passing requirements for the written component must retake it.
Assessment of the oral part of the final exam:
7.5 credits: minimum criteria satisfied
8 - 9 credits: average criteria satisfied with noticeable errors
10 – 12 credits: answer with a few errors
13 – 15 credits: outstanding answer.
In order to pass the final exam, a student must achieve at least 50% of positive answers on both written and oral parts of the final exam. If the student is not satisfied with the final grade, he/she may refuse the grade. In case a student does not accept the grade, he/she must re-enter the final exam.

Conditions for admission to the final exam
A student who accomplishes 35 or more grade points during all course classes can access the final exam. If a student achieves less than 35 grade points during all course classes, correction of the midterm exams will be organized. A student who achieves less than 35 grade points during all course classes even after the correction of the midterm exams, or is absent for more than 30% of all forms of classes, is graded as unsuccessful (F) and must re-enter the course.
Final grade
The final grade represents a sum of all grade points obtained during all course classes and on the final exam. Students are evaluated according to the ECTS (A-F) and numerical (1-5) system.
The ECTS and the numerical grading system are defined by the following criteria: A (5) 90 - 100 credits B (4) 75 - 89.99 credits C (3) 60 - 74.99 credits D (2) 50 - 59.99 credits F (1) 0 - 49.99 credits
