Evaluation and grading
Checking knowledge and determining how active students are in teaching is done throughout the semester. Knowledge is tested using two colloquia, and students' activity is expressed through writing seminar papers, regular attendance, participation in debates, preparation of presentations and other forms of creative participation in the teaching process. In this way, students fulfill the pre-examination obligations through which they can gain 50 points (two colloquia of 20 points each, a seminar paper of 5 points and an orderly and active attendance of 5 points). The final exam is conducted orally and it tests knowledge from the entire material, and carries a maximum of 50 points. The final grade is performed by adding the points from the pre-exam obligations and the points from the exam.
