      The level of achieving the learning outcomes is assessed according to the following scale:
      1) „A “(5) (Excellent) –an excellent and outstandingly comprehensive level of achieving learning outcomes that is characterized by free and creative use of knowledge and skills at a level that is above very good.
      2) „B“ (4) (Very good) –a very good level of achieving the learning outcomes that is characterized by a purposeful and creative use of knowledge and skills. In case of more specific and detailed knowledge and skills, insubstantial minor mistakes might occur.
      3) „C“ (3) (Good) –a good level of learning outcomes is achieved that is characterized by a purposeful use of knowledge and skills. In case of more specific and detailed knowledge and skills, the student is uncertain and imprecise.
      4) „D“ (2) (Satisfactory) –achieving a sufficient level of learning outcomes that is characterized by the ability to use knowledge and skills in ordinary situations; however, in unusual situations deficiencies and hesitation become apparent
      5) „E“ (1) (Poor) –achieving the most important learning outcomes at a minimum level that is characterized by a limited use of knowledge and skills under typical circumstances; however, in unusual situations, significant deficiencies and hesitation become apparent.
      6) „F“ (0) (Fail) –student has acquired knowledge and skills at a level below the minimum.
      Positive submission of tests (4-6) and compliance with deadlines.
      The exam gives 100% of the final grade.
