Classical Sociological Theories 3500-KTS

Attendance at and preparation for classes are necessary conditions for passing.

In addition, each student must write a writing assignment, which is assessed by the instructor. The person conducting classes decides on the requirements for writing assignment as well as on additional conditions for completing the exercises (accepted number of absences, tests, etc.).

The subject of the final essay should be reported to the instructor before the completion of work. The essay must be submitted so the instructor can grade it before the exam - the schedule and exceptions to these deadlines are decided by the person conducting the classes. The work is graded on a score scale of 0-20 points, the threshold for completing the work is 11 points. The instructor also evaluates the student's activity on a scale of 0-10 points.

The points obtained for classes are included in the course assessment - in order to complete the course, students must also pass two exams, ending each of semesters. Only the final grade for the course, including all the components of the final assessment, is entered into the USOS (details below).

The KTS assessment consists of several elements:

a) in February there is a mid-year exam including the material of the lecture and the first semester of classes, 5 questions to choose from of 7, 50 points max, 30 passes; the colloquium may be corrected in March. One additional date for oral improvement should be agreed with the selected examiner before the summer session.

b) in June there is an exam covering the material of the second semester of exercises, 5 questions to choose from of 7, 50 points max, 30 passes, 2nd attempt available in September;

(c) Classes points are ascribed in June (scale 1-30); without passing the exercises, it is not possible to take the examination in June;

(d) The grading scale is as follows:

0 - 70 points - 2

71 - 85 points - 3

86 - 96 points - 3 +

97 - 107 points - 4
