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