| ASSESSMENT METHODS | The total grade of the course is derived by 70% from the grade of the theory (written examination) and by 30% from the grade of the laboratory, which results from the grade of the Laboratory Assignments (LA), the grade of the Assessment Tests (AT), as well as the grade of the Final Examination (FE), and is given by the relationship: 0,25·(LA) + 0,25·(AT) + 0,5·(FE) = Final laboratory grade corresponding to 30% of the final grade. |
