Class participation covers in-class talks, and participation in discussions and debates. The grade is calculated as a mean of all the grades given throughout the course. One test is conducted at the end of each module. The grade for the tests is calculated as an average of all the three tests and is also included in the "Self-study and performance" grade. Assignments are awarded a “0” in the following cases:  violation of the deadline for more than 2 days;  cheating and copying from another student/source;  plagiarism (originality < 80%). The rounding starts with 0,6. So 9,6 is 10, 9,5 is 9.
