Course given by:
- Anna Kukla-Gryz, email: akukla@wne.uw.edu.pl, office hours: by appointment
Requirements for passing the course
- 1st element: exam (70% of the final grade)
To be able to participate in the exam you must receive at least 50% of the total points from the tutorials. The exam, organized during the exam period, will be a written multiple-choice test (five answers proposed to each question, only one is correct). The test must be passed with a positive result. It will be organized only once. Absence at the final test (on the required date) results in failing the course (NC grade).
- 2nd element: tutorials (30% of the final grade)
- TO PASS THE COURSE YOU MUST RECEIVE: at least 50% of points from the exam AND receive 50% of the sum of points from exam and tutorials.
- Re-take test
In the retake exam period (in March) there will be only one final test organized, taking the same form as the normal final test. All participants of the course are allowed to take the retake test (i.e. after passing the tutorials), regardless of the result from the first approach. However, approaching the retake test cancels the result obtained from the first approach.
Please note that:
- All tests are organized according to the rules of "Zero tolerance for cheating".
- There are no other possibilities (neither new dates nor rules) for passing the course.
- Grades are given according to the following scale:
| % total points | final grade |
| 90-100 | 5 |
| 80-89 | 4+ |
| 70-79 | 4 |
| 60-69 | 3+ |
| 50-59 | 3 |
