Continuous assessment (active participation in classes, homework etc.), as well as written and oral exams.

The final grade is calculated as a mean of the grades given by the individual instructors, weighted proportionally to the number of hours taught in the semester. To pass the course, a student must receive a passing grade (at least 60% of points) from each instructor.

Attendance monitoring: In case of absence due to illness, a medical certificate justifying the absence must be submitted within seven working days from the end of the sick leave.
The total number of excused and unexcused absences allowing students to take the exam is 30%.
