Course completion requirements -

Credit

Students will be awarded credit based on their active participation in seminars, submission of voluntary homework and written midterm and final credit test. The first two requirements are qualitative (fulfilled or not). To pass the credit tests, a student needs to score at least 50% of points from the two tests, cumulatively.

Credit will be awarded to students who:

1) attended at least 75% of seminars,

2) scored at least 50% cumulatively on midterm and final credit tests.

Exam

Only students who earned the credit can take the exam.

The final grade for the course will be awarded based on the following scores that students can earn during the semester or the examination period (the weight of each score in parentheses).

1) active participation in seminars (includes points from voluntary homework, up to 10 BONUS points),

2) written final exam.

The final grade of students who earned the credit and met the minimum required-point levels in the exam is then determined on the basis of the total sum of points from the above mentioned requirements on the following scale: A 90-100%, B 80-90%, C 70-80%, D 60-70%, E 50-60%, F less than 50%.

All written tests and exams are conducted in accordance with the common examination rules of the School of Business.

Requirements to the exam - Czech

Po získání zápočtu se student může přihlásit ke zkoušce. Zkouška bude písemná a proběhne v předem vypsaných termínech. Studenti se na zvolený termín musí registrovat v SISu. Zkouška trvá 90 minut a maximální možný počet bodů je 100. Bude se skládat ze dvou částí – teoretické (maximálně 50 bodů) a praktické (maximálně 50 bodů). Pro úspěšné složení zkoušky musí student získat alespoň 25 bodů z každé z těchto dvou částí. Student musí nejprve dosáhnout minimálního počtu bodů v písemném testu, teprve poté budou v jeho hodnocení zohledněny body za aktivitu. Student má na složení zkoušky maximálně tři pokusy.

Během zkoušky platí a budou vymáhána standardní pravidla akademické poctivosti a integrity. Jakékoli jejich porušení, pokusy o podvádění, používání mobilních telefonů, chytrých hodinek nebo jiných elektronických zařízení kromě kalkulaček povede k okamžitému ukončení vaší účasti na zkoušce a k následnému disciplinárnímu řízení.
