HUMAN GENETICS-GRADING POLICY

Lectures:

Students attending lectures regularly will be rewarded with up to 2.5 points according to the following scheme:

14-15 lectures: 2.5 points

12-13 lectures: 2 points

10-11 lectures: 1.5 points

8-9 lectures: 1 point

Attendance at 7 or less lectures will not be counted.

Seminars:

Seminars follow topics covered by the lectures and laboratory practices. According to the level of your knowledge regarding given themes, you may collect up to 1.5 points per seminar (up to 7.5 points for all seminars):

I seminar-1,5 points

II seminar-1,5 points

III seminar-1,5 points

IV seminar-1,5 points

V seminar-1,5 points

Colloquiums:

Colloquiums are in the form of the 10-question tests. Students can collect up to 10 points per colloquium (a total of 20 points for two colloquia).

Practical exam:

The practical exam is composed of 4 questions that correspond to the tasks covered by the laboratory practices. Students must collect at least 14 out of the maximum 20 points to pass the practical exam. Only students who pass the practical exam may take the final test. 

Final test:

The final test is in the form of a 50-question test. Students must collect at least 30 out of 50 points to pass the final test.

Key to grading:

lectures (up to 2.5 points)+seminars (up to 7.5 points)+colloquiums (up to 20 points)+practical exam (up to 20 points)+final test (up to 50 points)=up to 100 points
