3-4 modules

G 3-4 modules = G cumulative 3-4 modules * 0.6 + G mock test * 0.4
G cumulative 3-4 modules = G attendance, classwork * 0.4 + G homework * 0,3 + G tests * 0.3

Final Grade

G final = (G 1-2 modules + G 3-4 modules) / 2

Retake Rules

Students’ performance during the final resit of the examination in module 2 is assessed by a committee of lecturers. The resit follows the same format as the examination. On the first resit the cumulative grade (G cumulative 1-2 modules) is taken into consideration. On the second resit the following rules are used:
The formula remains the same:
G 1-2 modules= G cumulative 1-2 modules* 0.6 + G exam 2 module* 0.4
If the resulting grade (G 1-2 modules) is unsatisfactory, but the second resit grade (G exam 2 module) is higher than 7, the student is given a 4.

Plagarism and Penalties

If plagiarism or AI is detected, the assessment element is assigned a score of “0”. If the student is suspected of preparing the task not on their own or using AI, the teacher has the right to initiate additional verification or defence of this particular assessment element. Such an assessment element is graded based on the additional verification or the defence. If the student manages to achieve a satisfactory defence on the suspicion, they should then be given the mark they achieved.
