- 50% continuous assessment, i.e. ongoing preparation for classes (translation tasks carried out at home, vocabulary learning),
- 50% mid-term and semester work: translation task.

Principles of cooperation with leading individual modules:
1. Absences - two unjustified absences allowed in the semester.
2. Unprepared - the student should be prepared for each class. A student may submit two unprepared forms in the semester (eg not preparing translation tasks at home).
3. Consequences of exceeding the admissible limit of absence - if there are more than 2, including the justified, the student should ask the lecturer to determine the form of credit for the course material; more than 50% of absences are the basis for not crediting the subject.
