Assessment criteria
A course co-taught by several instructors, each of whom gives their own end grade. The final grade is a weighted average of the individual final grades obtained.
GRADE ELEMENTS:
* attendance check,
* continuous evaluation (ongoing preparation for classes and class participation),
* colloquia,
* written works.
GRADE SCALE:
99-100% 5! (excellent)
93-98% 5 (very good)
87-92% 4.5 (good plus)
77-86% 4 (good)
71-76% 3.5 (sufficient plus)
60-70% sufficient

ATTENDANCE AND ELIGIBILITY TO PASS THE COURSE:
In accordance with the order of KJD WO UW dated 31.07.2021:
- “the permitted number of unexcused absences from classes is 15%”;
- “the total number of excused and unexcused absences to approach the exam is 30%”. Those who exceed this limit of absences cannot receive a passing grade (even in the resit examination session);
- “A student must excuse an absence from class immediately and no later than 7 days after the reason for the absence ceases. In particularly justified cases, the lecturer may excuse an absence after this deadline.”
EXAM:
The final grade for the entire course also includes the grade from the general language test (hereinafter referred to as the EXAM); its weight is equal to one class unit for the entire semester (15x90 min.).
After completing the course (i.e., passing the course with each instructor), the student takes a written and oral exam in the summer session.
Failure to pass the written part (less than 60%) means non-admission to the oral part. A failed exam (less than 60% in the written or oral part) is corrected in a make-up session;
The exam is NOT a test of the course material, but a test of general language proficiency (after the first year it is conducted at the A2 level according to CEFR).
FAILURE TO PASS:
Receiving a failing grade in any module, or below 60% in an exam, is equivalent to failing the course;
Those who attended classes regularly, but did not receive a passing grade, may retake the course in the resit examination session.
